Associative and Categorical Processes in Children's Memory: The Role of Automaticity in the Development of Organization in Free Recall.
Bjorklund, David F.; Jacobs, John W. III
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v39 n3 p599-617 Jun 1985
Free recall performance of children in grades three, five, seven, and nine and of adults was assessed according to a list of categorically related words. Results indicated that seventh and ninth graders were more apt to use associative relations to begin category clusters than were younger children or adults. (Author/BE)
