Item-Specific and Relational Encoding Effects in Children's Recall and Recognition Memory for Words.
Ackerman, Brian P.
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v37 n3 p426-50 Jun 1984
Tests the hypothesis that children's inability to encode item-specific and relational information in episodic events contributes to age differences in recall and recognition. In two experiments, grade school children and college adults were presented with word triplets varying in categorical relatedness. Processing of the item-specific and relational information in the triplets was independently manipulated. (Author/RH)
