Effect of Interest on Attentional Shift, Recognition, and Recall in Young Children.

Renninger, K. Ann; Wozniak, Robert H.

Developmental Psychology, v21 n4 p624-32 Jul 1985

Interests of preschool children were naturalistically identified through patterns of attention in the classroom and were related to assessing (1) direction of attentional shift, (2) level of recognition, and (3) likelihood of recall. Findings are interpreted in terms of cognitive/affective conceptualization of interest as central figure of knowledge and value systems. (Author/DST)
