Relationship between Memory and Metamemory Performance: A Comparison of Specific and General Strategy Knowledge.
Short, Elizabeth J.; And Others
Journal of Educational Psychology, v85 n3 p412-23 Sep 1993
Effects of task demands, age, and skill level on memory and metamemory performance were examined for 62 average and 66 low-achieving learning-disabled children. Memory improved with age and skill level, and strategic metamemory revealed age and skill-level differences, but taxonomic metamemory revealed age differences in the average group only. (SLD)
