Short-Term Memory Limitations in Children: Capacity or Processing Deficits?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Chi, Michelene T. H. – Memory and Cognition, 1976
Evaluates the assertion that short-term memory (STM) capacity increases with age and concludes that the STM capacity limitation in children is due to the deficits in the processing strategies and speeds, which presumably improve with age through cumulative learning.

Mumaw, Randall J.; And Others – Memory and Cognition, 1985
Undergraduates (n=99) differing in spatial ability were tested on problems involving the mental rotation of familiar alphanumeric stimuli and unfamiliar stimuli drawn from the Primary Mental Abilities Space Test. Individual differences in spatial ability were associated with speed rather than accuracy of mental rotation processes. Ability…
