In Search of Retrieval Search in Children and Adults.
Ackerman, Brian P.; Freedman, Suzanne
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v46 n2 p219-46 Oct 1988
Used four experiments to examine retrieval access and item-by-item search processes and strategies in the cued recall of children in grades 3 and 6, and of adults. Results suggested that retrieval access is a problem for young children and contributes strongly to developmental increases in recall. Adults used retrieval strategies, although search occurred infrequently even with adults. (SKC)
