Elaboration: The Role of Activity and Conceptual Processing in Children's Memory.
Grier, Leslie K.; Ratner, Hilary Horn
Child Study Journal, v26 n3 p229-52 1996
Examined kindergartners' and third graders' recall to test the effects of four learning strategies applied to items involving three conceptual relations--taxonomic, contextual, and unrelated. Found that (using a constructivist framework for interpretation) learner activity and causal processing improved memory when memory was not supported by conceptual relation. (SD)
