A Developmental Study of Learning Disabilities and Memory.
Ceci, Stephen J.
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v38 n2 p352-71 Oct 1984
Reports that both learning-disabled (LD) and non-learning-disabled (NORM) children recalled disproportionately more adjacent words than semantically related or spaced words in a free recall task. Spaced words were less likely to be recalled by the younger children and by the LDs. NORMs' recalls were governed by purposive semantic processing to a greater extent than were LDs' recalls. (Author)
