The Expression of Memorization in Early Childhood.
Baker-Ward, Lynne; And Others
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v37 n3 p555-75 Jun 1984
A total of 60 children four-, five-, and six-years-old were assigned to memory or control groups and told they could play with toys. Mnemonic mediators were identified on the basis of differences in the behavior of children given memory and play instructions. Use of mnemonic mediators differentiated groups at all ages and increased with age. (RH)
