Peer reviewedAckerman, Brian P. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1987
The goal of this study was to determine some of the factors that contribute to developmental differences children and adults display when they use cues to retrieve specific memories. (PCB)

Peer reviewedAckerman, Brian P. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1997
Children were presented with a related-word triplet (horse, pig, cow) with or without accompanying setting, or place, information (farm). Children were later given a retrieval cue from the first two words of the triplet and asked to recall the third word. Found that place information presented at acquisition and retrieval facilitated children's…

Peer reviewedAckerman, Brian P. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1988
Five experiments investigated whether the cued recall of children and adults differed for classified events featuring different category and relation types. Recall for events differed strongly for children and adults. Differences were attributed to properties of the internal structure of event representation in memory. (SKC)

Peer reviewedEmmerich, Helen Jones; Ackerman, Brian P. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1978
This experiment assessed interactions between encoding and retrieval strategies in recall. Three levels of encoding conditions (random, blocked,sort) and three types of retrieval conditions (free, cued, constrained) were examined at three age levels (6, 10, and 18 years). (CM)

Peer reviewedAckerman, Brian P. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1984
Examines the effects of integration complexity on the ability of child and adult listeners to integrate information. Increases in complexity adversely affected children's more than adults' resolution integration. The children's integration performance was affected by theme discontinuity and conferential complexity.

Peer reviewedAckerman, Brian P. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1988
Five experiments examined the cued recall of the last target words of primarily four-word (Bus-Airplane-Car-Train) category stimuli by children and adults. Focused on problems of gaining access to episodic search sets in recall. Results suggested that access to search set is more problematic for children than for adults. (RWB)

Peer reviewedAckerman, Brian P.; Rathburn, Jill – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1984
Examines reasons why second and fourth grade students use cues relatively ineffectively to retrieve episodic information. Four experiments tested the hypothesis that retrieval cue effectiveness varies with the extent to which cue information describes event information in memory. Results showed that problems of discriminability and…
