Assessment and Selection of Paired Associate Strategies: A Developmental Study.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Moynahan, Eileen D. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1978
Extends the investigation of memory assessment to a situation in which memory performance on paired associate tasks varied with the use of different memory strategies. Subjects were 72 first, third, and fifth graders. (Author/MP)

Task Parameters Affecting the Efficacy of a Visual Imagery Learning Strategy in Younger and Older Children
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Pressley, Michale; Levin, Joel R. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1977
To test the comparative efficacy of a visual imagery associative learning strategy in younger and older children, second and sixth grade children were presented a list of paired associates (concrete nouns) either at a faster or slower rate, under either an instruction to generate an interactive image for the pairs or a no strategy, control…

Age Differences in Mediation in Children's Motor Paired-Associate Learning
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
McGeehan, Deborah L.; Cantor, Joan H. – Developmental Psychology, 1977
In a combined verbal and motor paired-associate task, children in kindergarten, second grade, and fourth grade learned nonsense names and spatial responses for three random shapes. Results showed evidence for mediation at all three age levels and increased mediational effects with age. (Author/JMB)

A Comparison of Induced Imagery and Sentence Strategies in Children's Paired-Associate Learning
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Levin, Joel R.; And Others – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1973
The major finding of the present experiment was that children as young a 7 or 8 (second graders) were able to employ an induced visual-imagery strategy to facilitate paired-associate learning. (Authors)

Effects of Syntactical Mediation, Age, and Modes of Representation on Paired-Associate Learning
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Hughes, S. Eileen Dolores; Walsh, John F. – Child Development, 1971
Syntactical mediation refers to the phenomenson in which the grammatical structure of language can be employed in the structure of verbal mediators. (Authors/MB)

The Development of Natural Language Mediators.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Mahoney, Gerald J. – Contemporary Educational Psychology, 1979
Children's ability to produce and use natural language mediators on a paired-associate recall task requiring self-generated elaboration was analyzed. Elaborations were recorded and classified according to a semantic-syntactic scheme. Comparisons between grades were made to determine the effectiveness of elaboration categories in facilitating…

Interactive Effects of Age and Familiarization in Paired-Associate Learning
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Baumeister, Alfred A.; Maisto, Albert A. – Developmental Psychology, 1974
Presents a study of paired-associative learning involving a total of 80 preschool and second grade children. Four familiarization categories of pretraining were utilized; results are discussed in terms of the effects of pretraining conditions and age on paired-associative learning and their consistency with some developmental hypotheses and phase…

Developmental Differences in Subjects' Associative-Learning Strategies and Performance: Assessing a Hypothesis
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Pressley, Michael; Levin, Joel R. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1977
In this study, the self-reported strategies of fifth, seventh, and ninth grade subjects used to learn a list of paired associates were correlated with actual learning performance to test the hypothesis that proficient learners are elaborators. (Author/SB)
