Kang, Sonia K.; Chasteen, Alison L. – International Journal of Aging and Human Development, 2009
Although research has shown that older adults are negatively affected by aging stereotypes, relatively few studies have attempted to identify those older adults who may be especially susceptible to these effects. The current research takes steps toward identifying older adults most susceptible to the effects of stereotype threat and investigates…

Pace, Ann Jaffe – 1980
This study examined the ability of young children to correct comprehension errors, considered to be an aspect of comprehension monitoring. Kindergartners and second graders (N=32) heard a story about an unfamiliar situation, then answered questions which either assessed information contained within a single sentence, required the correct…

Byrd, Mark – International Journal of Aging and Human Development, 1986
Examined effects of enforced organizational strategies on the memory of older adults for textual material. Young and old adults sorted scrambled sentences of a prose passage into the correct order. When older adults were required to make an in-depth analysis to sort material, their incidental memory for textual information was approximately equal…

Christie, Daniel J.; Schumacher, Gary M. – Journal of Reading Behavior, 1978
This study sought to determine if age-related increases in memory for prose are, in part, due to deliberate mnemonic strategies and if older children use the high order relations in prose more efficiently than younger children. (HOD)

Kareev, Yaakov – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1981
Forty children listened to stories and then answered questions about temporally neutral and temporally tagged information. Observed interactions among age, additional processing, and kind of information demonstrated the importance of the distinction between these types of information for developmental studies of memory of prose.

Cavanaugh, John C.; Murphy, Nancy Zuidema – Educational Gerontology, 1986
Assessed degree to which anxiety, hostility, depression, and metamemory predicted recall performance on word list and prose passage. Results from 65 older and 65 younger adults indicated different patterns of personality predictors and some consistent metamemory predictors across tasks. Different measures of anxiety related differently to…

Taub, Harvey A.; And Others – Educational Gerontology, 1982
Evaluated effects of perceived choice upon comprehension and memory of prose reading passages. Compared choice and no choice conditions with young and elderly adults and only elderly groups. Results indicated both age- and vocabulary-related deficits. However, perceived choice conditions did not produce any consistent improvement in performance.…

Corgiat, Mark D.; And Others – International Journal of Aging and Human Development, 1989
Evaluated contributions of age, presentation modality, task demand, and content structure to prose recall variation among adults. Tested 60 young and 60 older adults for recall of ideas in 641-word prose passage. Found recall for total number of idea units was significantly lower for older participants and for auditory presentation across both age…

Petros, Tom; Chabot, Robert J. – 1981
Several studies have reported adult age deficits in memory for prose materials. Adult age differences in prose comprehension were examined among young and old adults from high or low educational backgrounds. Subjects (N=53) listened to tape-recorded versions of two narrative passages and attempted to orally recall the stories. Subjects were…

Waters, Harriet Salatas – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1981
Investigated the use of organizational schemes in memorizing prose. Adult organizational schemes were a function of the structure of material to be remembered and the individual's plan to recall the material. Age and sex differences were discovered in an experiment assessing developmental changes in recall plans of children and adults. (Author/DB)

Stein, Nancy L.; Glenn, Christine G. – 1975
This paper presents a schema developed to investigated story recall in elementary school children, and describes the results of a study which tested the schema with first and fifth graders. The story schema, a theoretical model which formally defines the types of strategies, operations, and structures inherent in the processor of story…

Story Structure and Age Effects on Children's Ability to Sequence Stories. Technical Report No. 122.
McClure, Erica; Mason, Jana – 1979
To investigate the strategies children use in comprehending written stories, third, sixth, and ninth grade students were given scrambled six-sentence stories and asked to reorder them. Three versions of each of six stories were created. The first version was the canonical form of the story predicted by story grammar rules; the second version began…
