Associative and Categorical Hypotheses of Organization in the Free Recall of Adults and Children.
Frankel, Marc T.
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v40 n2 p304-18 Oct 1985
Kindergarten, fourth-grade, and tenth-grade subjects were shown pictures representing combinations of high and low inter-item association and high and low category relatedness. Results support a hypothesis that young children cluster in recall as a function of associations while older individuals show organizational flexibility which serves to facilitate greater recall.
