Though verbal rehearsal is a frequently endorsed strategy for remembering short lists among adults, there is ambiguity around when children deploy it, and what circumstantial factors encourage them to rehearse. We recoded data from a recent multilab replication of a serial picture memory task in which children were observed for evidence of…

Reconstruction of Arbritrary versus Logical Sequences by Preschool Children
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Brown, Ann L.; Murphy, Martin D. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1975
The ability of preschool children to construct and reconstruct ordered sequences was examined in a series of four experiments. Subjects were 42 children aged 3 to 5 years. The conditions under which reconstruction of an arbitrary series of events is possible are described. (Author/GO)

Effects of Domain-Specific Knowledge on Memory for Serial Order
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Botvinick, Matthew M. – Cognition, 2005
Knowledge concerning domain-specific regularities in sequential structure has long been known to affect recall for serial order. However, very little work has been done toward specifying the exact role such knowledge plays. The present article proposes a theory of serial recall in structured domains, based on Bayesian decision theory and a set of…

Scripts or Scraps: Reconsidering the Development of Sequential Understanding.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Bauer, Patricia J.; Thal, Donna J. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1990
Elicited imitation was used to assess 21-month-olds' recall of familiar-canonical, familiar-reversed, novel-causal, and novel-arbitrary event sequences. Reversed sequences were reproduced in modeled and corrected canonical order; other sequences were reproduced in modeled order. (BC)

Free Recall Curves: Nothing but Rehearsing Some Items More or Recalling Them Sooner?
Brodie, Delbert A.; Prytulak, Lubomir S. – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1975
The hypothesis that free recall curves reflecting effects of serial position, presentation time and delay of recall are attributable to subjects' pattern of rehearsal was explored. Experiments varied the patterns of rehearsal to examine the effects on recall. (CHK)

Probing for the Functional Stimuli in Serial Learning
Posnansky, Carla J. – Journal of Experimental Psychology, 1972
A primary purpose of the present study was the evaluation of possible differences in process between the recall and anticipation methods of serial learning. (Author)

Learning and Short-Term Recall by Chinese and American Students as a Function of Language, Mode of Presentation, and Noun Frequency.
Turnage, Thomas W.; McGinnies, Elliott – 1970
The study investigates the effects of linguistic medium (English vs. Chinese), mode of stimulus presentation (visual vs. auditory), and noun frequency on short-term serial recall and serial learning. The results indicate that auditory input facilitates learning for American subjects but not for Taiwanese subjects, who learned somewhat faster with…
