A Test of the Developmental Imagery Hypothesis in Children's Associative Learning.

Levin, Joel R.; Pressley, Michael

Journal of Educational Psychology, v70 n5 p691-94 Oct 1978

Kindergarten children were administered a paired-associate learning task at the beginning and end of the school-year, under either regular (control) or self-generated visual imagery instructions. Age predicted performance in the imagery but not in the control condition. Results supported the developmental imagery hypothesis. (Author/RD)
