Peer reviewedTinsley, Virginia S.; Waters, Harriet Salatas – Child Development, 1982
Two experiments replicate and extend Luria's (1959, 1961) findings on the development of verbal self-regulation during early childhood. Results support Luria's hypothesis that overt verbalizations facilitate control of motor behavior in young children and that language can play an active and integrative role in the development of behavioral and…

Peer reviewedPressley, Michael; Bryant, Susan L. – Child Development, 1982
In order to examine the effects of interrogative strategies in promoting children's associative learning, children five and six years of age, as well as sixth-grade children, were first presented with a variety of picture-paired associates and then tested for the ability to memorize them. (MP)

Peer reviewedLandis, Toby Y. – Child Development, 1982
Examines story retention after one-week interval as a function of topic familiarity and test-item relatedness. Second- and fifth-grade children participated. (MP)

Peer reviewedChristie, Daniel J.; Schumacher, Gary M. – Child Development, 1975
Children from kindergarten, second, and fifth grade were verbally presented a passage containing an equal number of idea units which were relevant versus irrelevant to the main theme of a story. For all grade levels, relevant idea units were recalled to a greater extent than idea units irrelevant to the main theme. (CS)

Peer reviewedHorton, Marjorie S.; Markman, Ellen M. – Child Development, 1980
Examines the relative utility of exemplar and linguistic information for acquiring basic and superordinate categories. Developmental differences were predicted in the ability to benefit from the linguistically specified information. Preschool, kindergarten, and first-grade children were tested. (Author/SS)

Peer reviewedHowe, Mark L.; And Others – Child Development, 1985
A stages-of-learning model was used to examine effects of picture-word manipulation on storage and retrieval differences between disabled and nondisabled grade 2 and 6 children. Results showed that disabled students are poorer at memory tasks and in developing the ability to reliably retrieve information than nondisabled children. (Author/RH)

Peer reviewedDuncan, Edward M.; And Others – Child Development, 1982
In two experiments, children ages six through eight, 10-year-old children, and college students were shown several series of slides. Each series told a unique "story" and was followed by oral questions. Results illustrated the increasing interdependence of the verbal and visual systems with age. (Author/MP)

Peer reviewedGoldman, Susan R.; And Others – Child Development, 1982
Two studies were conducted with 8- and 10-year-old children to examine sources of age and skill differences in verbal analogical reasoning. Discussion focuses on the child's "problem space" for the analogy task and possible differences in task understanding that lead to strategy and process differences in older versus younger and skilled versus…

Examines life-span developmental differences in spontaneous integration of semantically relevant material presented in pictures and sentences. Elementary school students, high school students, and adults were tested. (Author/SS)

Peer reviewedYussen, Steven R. – Child Development, 1972
Results revealed that (1) relevant verbal experience facilitated learning only for preschoolers, (2) irrelevant verbal experience did not interfere with learning, and (3) visual highlighting exerted no significant effects. (Author/MB)

Peer reviewedFernald, Anne; Swingley, Daniel; Pinto, John P. – Child Development, 2001
Two experiments tracked infants' eye movements to examine use of word-initial information to understand fluent speech. Results indicated that 21- and 18-month-olds recognized partial words as quickly and reliably as whole words. Infants' productive vocabulary and reaction time were related to word recognition accuracy. Results show that…
