Cunningham, Anna J.; Carroll, Julia M. – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2011
We investigate the effects of age-related factors and formal instruction on the development of reading-related skills in children aged 4 and 7 years. Age effects were determined by comparing two groups of children at the onset of formal schooling; one aged 7 (later-schooled) and one aged 4 (earlier-schooled). Schooling effects were measured by…

McClinton, Sandra L. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1981
Children at three age levels (four-, six-, and eight-year-olds) were asked a series of class inclusion questions presented verbally, visually, and kinesthetically. Analysis of correctness of reasons showed main effects of age and of condition. (Author/GK)

Paivio, Allan – Instructional Science, 1980
Argues that mental images have functional properties similar to those of audiovisual media in that they can be intentionally and systematically used as the informational base for cognitive operations and as an aid to new learning. Experimental evidence is cited to support the claims. Nineteen references are cited. (Author/CHC)

Cramer, Phebe – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1976
The false recognition procedure was used to determine the relative dominance of visual and verbal memory organization at two grade levels. The results indicated that visual encoding was predominant for first graders, but that both visual and verbal encoding occurred with fourth graders. (MS)

Weiss, Maureen R. – Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, 1983
The relationship of age and developmental differences to modeling and motor skill development were examined. Comparisons of the observational learning patterns of four- and five-year-old children and of seven- and eight-year-olds suggest that their physical and cognitive capacities call for different instructional strategies.

Aptitude by treatment interactions are investigated in the context of paired associate learning. Individuals are grouped by preference for visual or verbal items on classifying lists of paired associates and these groups are used to predict performance on criterion lists. (DG)

Nelson, Gordon K. – 1973
A total of 100 3- and 5-year-old children were trained and assessed individually on the concept of equilateral triangle at three levels of attainment: concrete, identity, and classificatory. Five training conditions existed: (1) visual inspection; (2) visual inspection and verbal orienting instruction; (3) visual inspection, free haptic activity,…
