Developmental Changes in Incidental Memory as a Function of Meaningfulness and Encoding Condition.

Ghatala, Elizabeth S.

Developmental Psychology, v20 n2 p208-11 Mar 1984

Tests second- and sixth-grade students' incidental memory for words under acoustic- and semantic-processing conditions. The findings were predicted by an associative-processing account of incidental memory previously advanced by Ghatala (1981) and indicate that both knowledge-base development and processing activity determine children's incidental memory for words.
