A Comparison of Average and Poor Readers in Their Recall Performance, Strategy Use, and Metamemory.
Marfo, Kofi; Ryan, Robert F. P.
Alberta Journal of Educational Research, v36 n3 p241-55 Sep 1990
Among 48 fourth graders, average readers were superior to poor readers in recall performance, use of memory strategies, and awareness of own memory processes (metamemory). However, both groups demonstrated little strategic sophistication. Across groups, significant correlations were found among strategy use, metacognitive knowledge, and recall performance.
