Developmental Changes in Children's Use of Memory Strategies

Abstract

This study examined developmental changes in children's use of memory strategies. The subjects were 120 5-, 7-, and 9-year old children. All children performed sort-recall task. Children were classified as spontaneous production deficiency if they didn't use any strategy. Children were classified as utilization deficiency if they use strategies but their recall was lower than or not different from recall of those who were classified as spontaneous production deficiency. And children were classified as efficient user if they use strategies and their recall was higher than recall of those who were classified as spontaneous production deficiency. Both rehearsal and organization, utilization deficiency and spontaneous production deficiency were more common for 5-year-old than 7- or 9-year-old, whereas 7- or 9-year-old showed a tendency to belong to efficient user. With increase in age, children used multiple strategies. And those who used multiple strategies showed higher level of recall than those who used a single strategy.
