Belmont, John M. – Child Development, 1972
It was concluded that age and IQ have strong influences on acquisition-retrieval, but that forgetting rate is independent of these variables. (Author)

BLAKE, KATHRYN A.; AND OTHERS – 1964
A SERIES OF RESEARCH PROGRAMS CONCERNED WITH THE EFFECTS OF SYSTEMATIC VARIATIONS OF CERTAIN CONDITIONS RELATED TO LEARNING HAS BEEN CONDUCTED. PROJECTS PREVIOUSLY REPORTED INCLUDED TWO INVESTIGATIONS OF REINFORCEMENT AND SUBJECT VARIABLES AND ONE ON THE STUDY OF PRACTICE AND SUBJECT VARIABLES. THE NATURE OF THE OVERALL PROGRAM WAS DISCUSSED IN…

Gruen, Gerald E. – 1971
Three studies compared learning and problem-solving performances of normal and familially-retarded children on tasks differing in complexity, and one study investigated motivational-personality differences. Main purpose of the first three studies was to investigate the controversy between developmental and defect theorists in mental retardation.…

Bray, Norman W.; And Others – Intelligence, 1978
A directed forgetting task was used in an investigation of the conditions under which normal and educable mentally retarded junior high school students would disregard irrelevant information. Results showed that irrelevant information in memory interfered with the performance of only the retarded group, when given a minimal explanation of the…

Reichert, Conrad A. – 1971
A study was made of the effect of various learner and task characteristics on learning from scrambled frames in an instructional program. The independent variables were: sequence (scrambled vs. logical), grade, sequence length, criterion test complexity, sex, IQ, mathematics achievement, and reading comprehension. The dependent variables were:…

Stein, Joan Lerner; Budoff, Milton – 1973
Compared were performances of 39 educable mentally retarded (EMR) Ss, mean chronological age (CA) 11 1/2 years, mean mental age (MA) 7 3/4 years; 25 fifth graders matched on CA; and 27 second graders matched on MA to determine whether children of different ages and IQ spontaneously demonstrate learning strategies after repeated practice with…

Brier, Norman; Jacobs, Paul I. – Child Development, 1972
A single administration of the reversal learning paradigm is not a sufficient basis for determining either a given subject's choice of option or his behavior on its constituent learning measures. This conclusion raises many questions about past research relating to mediation theory, since this paradigm has been the basic one employed. (Authors)

Brown, Ann L. – Child Development, 1973
The relation of CA, MA, and IQ to conservation was examined by comparing the performance of bright, normal, and retarded children matched on the critical MA of six years. (Author)

Little, Audrey – Child Development, 1972
Results indicate that within the limitations of this study there is evidence that children with superior" intelligence showed more mature response patterns on Piaget-type tasks than children of the same age with average" intelligence test scores. (Author)

Kennedy, Stephen P.; Suzuki, Nancy S. – American Educational Research Journal, 1977
Noun-pair learning in twelfth graders was assessed as a function of ethnicity, I.Q., and instructional conditions. Learners instructed to generate sentences performed better than control group learners. The relationship between instructional conditions and I.Q. was significant, but ethnicity was not. Spontaneous elaboration is discussed as a…

SEIBERT, WARREN F.; AND OTHERS – 1965
PRELIMINARY ANALYSES WERE UNDERTAKEN TO DETERMINE THE POTENTIAL CONTRIBUTION OF MOTION PICTURE FILMS TO FACTOR ANALYTIC STUDIES OF HUMAN INTELLECT. OF PRIMARY CONCERN WERE THE OPERATIONS OF COGNITION AND MEMORY, FORMING TWO OF THE FIVE OPERATION COLUMNS OF GUILFORD'S "STRUCTURE OF INTELLECT." THE CORE REFERENCE FOR THE STUDY WAS DEFINED…
