The Development of Forgetting and Reminiscence.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Brainerd, C. J.; And Others – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 1990
Discussed theories relating forgetting rates and age. Developed a theory and mathematical model for examining storage failure versus retrieval failure, true forgetting versus test-induced processes, and storage- versus retrieval-based reminiscence. A series of experiments studied these factors in children and seniors. (BC)

Cognitive Development Is Abrupt (but Not Stage-Like).
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Brainerd, C. J. – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 1993
Focuses on the question of whether developmental improvement in performance on cognitive tasks is abrupt or continuous. Explains three model-based approaches to this question, and stresses that research conducted in these approaches has indicated that developmental improvements consist of jumps through discrete states. Concludes that these results…
