The Relation between Item Identification Difficulty and Elaborative Conceptual Processing for Children and Adults.
Ackerman, Brian P.; And Others
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v49 n3 p399-427 Jun 1990

Item identification processes for both words and pictures constrain children's elaborative processing. The constraints are time limited. (RH)
