Development differences in associative memory: strategy use, mental effort, and knowledge access interactions.

摘要: The deployment of memory strategies is resource demanding and more so for younger children than older adults. associative studies reviewed show that accessibility to relevant event knowledge directly related the demands using an elaboration strategy. greater efficiency strategy use by adults permits available mental resources support additional task-relevant processing to-be-learned items. This might include alternate or durable encodings pair relationships, creation retrieval opportunities (strategies), effective monitoring. enabled freeing information-processing hypothesized be responsible developmental increase in efficacy other strategies. Knowledge access also affects nature relational selected recall benefits observed. Although increases "elaboration" were account differences memory, evidence clearly shows are involved. these involve a nontechnical sense, observed dissociations between them argue maintaining distinction. Moreover, further analysis needed understand interactions selection access. In this regard, initial deployed learner dependent on his her about relative effectiveness various associations with For example, subject forgo if items "captured" "other associative" relationship activated during (particularly search very effortful). contrast, persevere at retrieving because encoding "direct" members. learner's subsequent selection, either new pairs, undoubtedly complex relationships use, access, demands. conclusion, research examined chapter verified effort, exposed.
