Syntactic Facilitation of Children's Associative Learning: An Instructional Effect
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Yuille, John C. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1974
An experiment is reported in which connective recall, as well as noun recall, was obtained in a pair-associate learning, syntactic facilitation paradigm. Results were interpreted as consistent with the hypothesis that experimenter-supplied verb links facilitate noun pair learning by serving an instructional role, indicating to the subject how a…

Effects of Elaborative Prompt Condition and Developmental Level on the Performance of Addition Problems by Kindergarten Children
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Grunau, Ruth V. E. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1978
The use of an elaborative process by kindergarten children in the performance of verbally presented arithmetic addition problems was investigated. A static rather than dynamic verbally described relation between stimulus sets resulted in more correct responses for two of nine Developmental Level X Prompt Condition groups, supporting the use of…

Contextual Facilitation in a Letter Search Task Depends on How the Prime Is Processed.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Smith, Marilyn Chapnik – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 1979
Contextual facilitation appears to depend upon the mode of analysis of the prime. If the prime is analyzed as a meaningful unit, facilitation occurs. However, if it is subjected to a more discrete, letter-by-letter analysis, the priming effect vanishes. (Author/CP)

Allocating Study Time Appropriately: Spontaneous and Instructed Performance.
Dufresne, Annette; And Others – 1988
Two aspects of allocation of study time were examined among 48 third- and 48 fifth-grade children. Aspects examined were: (1) allocation of more time to more difficult material; and (2) allocation of sufficient time to meet a recall goal. Under a self-terminated procedure, children studied two booklets, one of which consisted of easy or highly…
