Development of Children's Knowledge and Use of Strategies for Self-Control in a Resistance-to-Distraction Task.

Holdtz, Barbara Addy; Lehman, Elyse Brauch

Merrill-Palmer Quarterly, v41 n3 p361-80 Jul 1995

Seventy-five 4-, 6-, and 8-year olds participated in a study examining the relationship between children's awareness and use of strategies for self-control. Knowledge of strategies was more highly correlated with process than with performance, and the relationship between knowledge about strategies and actual performance increased with age. (AA)
