Factor Analysis of Variability Measures in Eight Independent Samples of Children and Adults.
Coyle, Thomas R.
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v78 n4 p330-58 Apr 2001
Examined whether a sample of variability measures could be reduced to a smaller number of factors with 8 independent samples of second through fourth graders and adults. Found that a 2-factor model of strategy diversity and strategy change was supported for all samples. Strategy diversity positively related to children's recall; strategy change negatively related to adults' recall. (Author/KB)
