Incidental Learning in Preschool Children as a Function of Level of Cognitive Analysis

Murphy, Martin D.; Brown, Ann L.

Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 19, 3, 509-523, Jun 75

Preschoolers' recall and clustering of organized lists of pictures were examined either under deliberate instructions to remember or in incidental learning situations. It was concluded that the activity of the children determines depth of processing and subsequent retention, not the intent to remember. (JMB)
