Developmental and Individual Differences in Long-Term Memory Retrieval: Process and Organization.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Ford, Martin E.; Keating, Daniel P. – Child Development, 1981
Investigated the relationship of two memory components involved in the retrieval of information from long-term memory--one process-oriented and one structure-oriented-- to variability associated with age and ability differences. Striking developmental differences obtained for retrieval efficiency were highly related to scores on tests of ability,…

Development of the Search-Processing Parameter.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Keating, Daniel P.; And Others – Child Development, 1980
Examines the role of basic cognitive-processing efficiency as the source of developmental variance in cognitive performance. Two experimental tasks, memory and visual scanning, were used to investigate age effects on the search-processing parameter. Subjects were 9-, 11-, 13-, and 15-year-old children. (CM)

Individual and Developmental Differences in Cognitive-Processing Components of Mental Ability
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Keating, Daniel P.; Bobbitt, Bruce L. – Child Development, 1978
Three experiments (simple versus choice reaction time, Posner letter identification, and Sternberg memory scanning) attempted to determine whether reliable individual differences in cognitive processing exist in children and, if so, whether these differences are systematically related to age and ability.
