The Effects of Knowledge Availability and Knowledge Accessibility on Coherence and Elaborative Inferencing in Children from Six to Fifteen Years of Age.
Barnes, Marcia A.; And Others
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v61 n3 p216-41 Apr 1996
Two studies explored the following two issues important in understanding the development of knowledge-based inferencing: (1) how children of different ages use a circumscribed and available knowledge base to make two types of inferences important for comprehension; and (2) how the accessibility of an available knowledge base is related to inferencing in children of different ages.
