Brown, Ann L.; And Others – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1977
Training in memory span-estimation for two age groups of educable mentally retarded children was administered to assess whether such training could lead to long-term improvement in the younger children's knowledge concerning their memory limitations. (SB)

Brown, Ann L.; Murphy, Martin D. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1975
The ability of preschool children to construct and reconstruct ordered sequences was examined in a series of four experiments. Subjects were 42 children aged 3 to 5 years. The conditions under which reconstruction of an arbitrary series of events is possible are described. (Author/GO)

Brown, Ann L. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1975
Describes three experiments which investigated memory for items and order in a progressive elaboration paired-associates task. Subjects were kindergarteners, second and fourth graders. Experiments I and II indicated an age effect on order retention which was overcome through instruction in Experiment III. (JMB)

Murphy, Martin D.; Brown, Ann L. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1975
Preschoolers' recall and clustering of organized lists of pictures were examined either under deliberate instructions to remember or in incidental learning situations. It was concluded that the activity of the children determines depth of processing and subsequent retention, not the intent to remember. (JMB)

Brown, Ann L. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1973
Recency judgments were examined for four groups (N = 40 per group) aged 7, 8, 10, and 18 years. The resulting data supported the hypothesis that tasks, which do not require deliberate mnemonic strategies, are not developmentally sensitive. (Editor/RK)

Brown, Ann L.; Scott, Marcia S. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1972
The ability of children of 3-5 years to acquire mediated solutions to conceptual problems and to execute rapid reversal shifts within these concepts suggests that their problem solving capacity is not necessarily limited to simple associative responses. (Authors)
