Slot-Filler Categories as Memory Organizers for Young Children.
Lucariello, Joan; Nelson, Katherine
Developmental Psychology, v21 n2 p272-82 Mar 1985

Significantly better memory and organization were achieved on slot-filler lists than on either taxonomic or complementary lists, suggesting that slot-filler categories are more available in preschoolers' semantic memory.
