Is a Procedural Learning Deficit a Causal Risk Factor for Developmental Language Disorder or Dyslexia? A Meta-Analytic Review
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
West, Gillian; Melby-Lervåg, Monica; Hulme, Charles – Developmental Psychology, 2021
Impaired procedural learning has been suggested as a possible cause of developmental dyslexia (DD) and developmental language disorder (DLD). We evaluate this theory by performing a series of meta-analyses on evidence from the six procedural learning tasks that have most commonly been used to test this theory: the serial reaction time, Hebb…

Does Language Help Regularity Learning? The Influence of Verbalizations on Implicit Sequential Regularity Learning and the Emergence of Explicit Knowledge in Children, Younger and Older Adults
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Ferdinand, Nicola K.; Kray, Jutta – Developmental Psychology, 2017
This study aimed at investigating the ability to learn regularities across the life span and examine whether this learning process can be supported or hampered by verbalizations. For this purpose, children (aged 8-10 years) and younger (aged 19-30 years) and older (aged 70-80 years) adults took part in a sequence learning experiment. We found that…

Incidental Category Learning and Cognitive Load in a Multisensory Environment across Childhood
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Broadbent, H. J.; Osborne, T.; Rea, M.; Peng, A.; Mareschal, D.; Kirkham, N. Z. – Developmental Psychology, 2018
Multisensory information has been shown to facilitate learning (Bahrick & Lickliter, 2000; Broadbent, White, Mareschal, & Kirkham, 2017; Jordan & Baker, 2011; Shams & Seitz, 2008). However, although research has examined the modulating effect of unisensory and multisensory distractors on multisensory processing, the extent to which…

Effect of Pictorial Integration on Children's Incidental Learning
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Hale, Gordon A.; Piper, Richard A. – Developmental Psychology, 1974
Examines incidental learning in 8-, 11-, and 14-year-old children with the central and incidental pictorial stimuli (a) presented as separate entities, (b) depicted together in a weak or strong action relation, or (c) depicted together in a static relation. (Author/ED)

A Study of Strategies of Visual Attention in Children
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Pick, Anne D.; Frankel, Gusti, W. – Developmental Psychology, 1973
A study of developmental aspects of selective attention and task-related strategies of attention in 2nd and 6th graders. Age differences were found and interpreted as reflecting the development of flexible as well as selective attention strategies. (DP)

Developmental Trends in Children's Incidental Learning: Some Critical Stimulus Differences
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Hale, Gordon A.; Piper, Richard A. – Developmental Psychology, 1973
These results suggest that, for the purpose of measuring children's incidental learning, materials with integrated components such as color and shape are functionally different from stimuli with spatially independent components. (Authors)

Age Differences in Incidental Learning
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Eysenck, Michael W. – Developmental Psychology, 1974
Examines the effects of age and of incidental-learning tasks on recall of a categorized word list by two groups of adults (18-30 years and 55-65 years). (ED)

Developmental Changes in Incidental Memory as a Function of Meaningfulness and Encoding Condition.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Ghatala, Elizabeth S. – Developmental Psychology, 1984
Tests second- and sixth-grade students' incidental memory for words under acoustic- and semantic-processing conditions. The findings were predicted by an associative-processing account of incidental memory previously advanced by Ghatala (1981) and indicate that both knowledge-base development and processing activity determine children's incidental…
