The Development of Auditory Sequential Memory in Young Black and White Children.

Hurley, Oliver L.; And Others

The question of whether Black children "peak" earlier than White children in auditory sequential memory (ASM) was investigated in 122 Black children and 120 White children in grades k-3 in two racially mixed schools in a large southern community. Each S was given the ASM subtest of the Illinois Test of Psycholinguistic Abilities. Results did not support a "peak" in ASM for Black children, nor did the data support a superiority of Black children over White children in the skill tested. (Author/SB)
