Strategy Training and Semantic Encoding in Mildly Retarded Children.

Engle, Randall W.; Nagle, Richard J.

Intelligence, v3 n1 p17-30 Jan-Mar 1979

Mildly retarded children were instructed in encoding strategies or rehearsal strategy. Performance was higher for semantic encoding strategies. Seven months later the semantic condition also showed greater improvement after strategies were prompted. Performance on incidental learning tasks was enhanced for 13- but not 10-year olds.
