On the Development of Forgetting.
Brainerd, Charles J.; And Others
Child Development, v56 n5 p1103-19 Oct 1985
Discusses issues making developmental studies of forgetting difficult to interpret: (1) stages-of-learning confounds, (2) failure to separate forgetting from performance factors operating on retention tests, and (3) failure to disentangle contributions of storage-based and retrieval-based forgetting to retention test performance. A paradigm and model are presented that deal with these problems. (Author/RH)
