Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Howe, Mark L.; Toth, Sheree L.; Cicchetti, Dante – Child Development, 2011
The authors examined 284 maltreated and nonmaltreated children's (6- to 12-year-olds) ability to inhibit true and false memories for neutral and emotional information using the Deese/Roediger-McDermott (DRM) paradigm. Children studied either emotional or neutral DRM lists in a control condition or were given directed-remembering or…

Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Howe, Mark L. – Child Development, 2008
Distinctiveness effects in children's (5-, 7-, and 11-year-olds) false memory illusions were examined using visual materials. In Experiment 1, developmental trends (increasing false memories with age) were obtained using Deese-Roediger-McDermott lists presented as words and color photographs but not line drawings. In Experiment 2, when items were…

Howe, Mark L.; Cicchetti, Dante; Toth, Sheree L.; Cerrito, Beth M. – Child Development, 2004
Differences in basic memory processes between maltreated and nonmaltreated children were examined in an experiment in which middle-socioeconomic-status (SES; N=60), low-SES maltreated (N=48), and low-SES nonmaltreated (N=51) children (ages 57, 89, and 10-12 years) studied 12 Deese-Roediger-McDermott lists. Using recall and recognition measures,…

Howe, Mark L. – Child Development, 2006
The role of categorical versus associative relations in 5-, 7-, and 11-year-old children's true and false memories was examined using the Deese--Roediger--McDermott (DRM) paradigm and categorized lists of pictures or words with or without category labels as primes. For true items, recall increased with age and categorized lists were better…

Storage-Retrieval Processes of Normal and Learning-Disabled Children: A Stages-of-Learning Analysis of Picture-Word Effects.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Howe, Mark L.; And Others – Child Development, 1985
A stages-of-learning model was used to examine effects of picture-word manipulation on storage and retrieval differences between disabled and nondisabled grade 2 and 6 children. Results showed that disabled students are poorer at memory tasks and in developing the ability to reliably retrieve information than nondisabled children. (Author/RH)
