Peer reviewedSiegel, Alexander W.; And Others – Child Development, 1976
The spatial and temporal components of a serial position recall task were experimentally manipulated in a study using kindergarten, first grade, and second grade children to determine the factors involved in the primacy effect. (BRT)

Peer reviewedHayes, Donald S.; Schulze, Sharon A. – Child Development, 1977
To determine whether young children consistently employ a visual code for remembering pictures in serial recall, 36 preschool children were asked to match picture lists composed of visually similar, phonetically similar, or unrelated items. (JMB)

Peer reviewedSwanson, Lee – Child Study Journal, 1978
Explores the effect of stimulus familiarity on the spatial primacy performance of normal and retarded children. Assumes that serial recall tasks reflect spatial memory rather than verbal rehearsal. (BD)

Peer reviewedSarver, Gary S.; And Others – Child Development, 1976
The present study was designed to investigate the effects of stimulus presentation rate on recall and primacy-recency effects in children. Results indicated that the traditional interpretation of the primacy effect as reflecting long-term memory store may not be valid. (Author/SB)

Healey, Muriel – 1978
This study investigates the development of mathematical ability and understandings and explores the use of math games as part of a global model of preschool program evaluation. Eighty-three children (aged 3 3/4 to 4 years) enrolled in several programs in the Mt. Druitt Early Childhood Project, North Ryde, Australia, participated in the study.…
