Generic Resources, Reconstructive Processing, and Children's Mental Arithmetic.
Brainerd, C. J.; Reyna, V. F.
Developmental Psychology, v24 n3 p324-34 May 1988

Discussed are two competing interpretations of the development of working memory: fuzzy-trace theory and the generic-resources hypothesis. (Author/RH)
