Depth of Processing and Recognition Memory Performance in First-, Third-, and Eighth-Graders.

Evans, Robert C.

Journal of Experimental Education, v48 n3 p217-22 Spr 1980

First, third, and eighth graders performed four different orienting activities to different words. Under an incidental learning paradigm, the children's recognition was tested after the orienting activity. Age differences in recognition were absent, and the effect of the orienting activity responses on recognition supported depth of processing phenomenon. (Author/GDC)
