The Impact of Interest and Strategy Use on Memory Performance for Child, Adolescent, and Adult Learners.
Willoughby, Teena; Motz, Mary; Wood, Eileen
Alberta Journal of Educational Research, v43 n2-3 p127-41 Sum-Fall 1997
In two experiments, an elaborative interrogation strategy (responding to why questions) increased memory performance more than fact repetition for adolescents and young adults and increased performance more than self-selected strategies for children and adolescents. Young adults performed equally well using elaborative interrogation or self-directed study. Individual interests predicted memory performance only for adolescents. Contains 31 references. (Author/SV)
