A Test of Bizarre Interaction as a Factor in Children's Memory.
Emmerich, Helen Jones; Ackerman, Brian P.
Journal of Genetic Psychology, v134 n2 p225-32 Jun 1979
Kindergarten children (N=60 boys and girls) were presented with a paired-associate memory task in which the pairs were elaborated by either a normal interaction (e.g., The horse eats the apple.) or a bizarre interaction (e.g., The horse peels the apple.) in order to test the assumption that bizarreness is a necessary factor in a mnemonic system.
