Developmental Invariance in the Effects of Functional Self-Knowledge on Memory.
Pullyblank, John; And Others
Child Development, v56 n6 p1447-54 Dec 1985
Among children 7 to 11 years of age, recall of words initially accompanied by self-reference questions was found to be superior to recall of words accompanied by semantic questions at all age levels. The advantage of self-reference did not vary with age. Results were interpreted in terms of a distinction between functional and expressive self-knowledge. (Author/RH)
