Metamemory, Memory Performance, and Causal Attributions in Gifted and Average Children.

Kurtz, Beth E.; Weinert, Franz E.

Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v48 n1 p45-61 Aug 1989

Tested high- and average-achieving German fifth- and seventh-grade students' metacognitive knowledge, attributional beliefs, and performance on a sort recall test. Found ability-related differences in all three areas. Gifted children tended to attribute academic success to high ability while average children attributed success to effort. (SAK)
