Children's Attention Allocation, Understanding of Attention, and Performance on the Incidental Learning Task.

Miller, Patricia H.; Weiss, Michael G.

Child Development, v52 n4 p1183-90 Dec 1981

Strategies of allocating attention to information and incidental learning task performance were assessed among 60 children from grades 2, 5, and 8. Children's predictions about their recall of incidental objects and answers to a posttest questionnaire provided verbal measures of their understanding of attention. (Author/RH)
