The Role of Children's Expertise in a Strategic Memory Task.

Gaultney, Jane F.; And Others

Contemporary Educational Psychology, v17 n3 p244-57 Jul 1992

Two experiments with 42 second graders, 55 fourth graders, and 36 fifth graders investigated previous findings of a lack of strategic advantage for expert children dealing with information in their area of expertise. Results from using an expert-novice paradigm suggest that expert children's task advantage is mediated primarily by nonstrategic factors. (SLD)
