Frequency Interference in Children' Recognition of Sentence Information
Levin, Joel R.; And Others
American Educational Research Journal, 15, 1, 39-51, W 78
Children listened to sentences under two instructional sets (imagery or repetition) and answered multiple choice alternatives--either identical or similar in meaning to correct information in the sentences; and including or not including previously presented irrelevant information. The sources of interference predicted from recognition memory theory were present under both instructions. (Author/GDC)
