The Relation between Processing Difficulty and Cued Recall in Children and Adults.
Ackerman, Brian P.; Bailey, Kristen
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v47 n2 p297-323 Apr 1989
Results of five experiments showed that in certain situations recall varied with processing difficulty for both children and college students. This was primarily due to enhanced cue discriminability. The relation between processing difficulty and developmental increases in recall seemed to be mediated by constructability problems and resource- and data-limited aspects of the task situation. (RH)
