Young children aged 2-4 years were tested with word recognition lists ina study of their memory development. (ST)

This study examined the developmental differences in preschoolers' recognition memory while evaluating the effects of experimenter-provided labels and assessing spontaneous production of verbal mediators by preschool children. (JMB)

In three experiments, three- and four-and-a-half-year-old preschool children were tested on free and cued recall tasks in which semantic and contextual cues were manipulated. When context and target items were integrated experimentally at presentation, unrelated context cues improved recall. A developmental increase in the effectiveness of…

Three experiments evaluated color specificity knowledge and related semantic effects on recognition memory. (Author/SB)

This paper describes a series of studies which examine the early development of recall. Subjects were children about 2 1/2 and 5 years of age. Recall was tested on nine-item lists which were either composed of three objects from each of three conceptual categories or nine objects from nine different conceptual categories. Age differences were…
