The Development of Natural Language Mediators.

Mahoney, Gerald J.

Contemporary Educational Psychology, v4 n3 p260-71 Jul 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 recall. (Author/RD)
