Peer reviewedBrainerd, C. J.; Reyna, V. F. – Cognitive Psychology, 1995
A form of autosuggestibility in which children's answers to memory tests were shifted in the direction of their illogical solutions to reasoning problems was studied in 5 experiments with 396 primary-grade students. A model of how gist intrusion causes autosuggestibility is developed. (SLD)

Peer reviewedBrainerd, C. J.; Reyna, V. F. – Developmental Psychology, 1988

Discussed are two competing interpretations of the development of working memory: fuzzy-trace theory and the generic-resources hypothesis. (Author/RH)
