Age and Individual Differences in the Learning of a Memorization Procedure.

Rohwer, William D., Jr.; Litrownik, James

Journal of Educational Psychology, v75 n6 p799-810 Dec 1983

Age differences in memory performance have been ascribed to corresponding differences in the effectiveness of mental memorization procedures. A comparative assessment of opportunity and capability hypotheses is evaluated with reference to results of previous studies of procedural maintenance and transfer following instruction, using a sample of 216 students from grades 5 and 11.
