The Anatomy of Memory in the Classroom: Understanding How Students Acquire Memory Processes from Classroom Activities in Science and Social Studies Units.
Nuthall, Graham
American Educational Research Journal, v37 n1 p247-304 Spr 2000

Findings for five middle school students show that students' recall exhibited genre-like patterning that could be related to ways the teacher structured and guided students' involvement in recall activities.
