[Effects of organizational strategy and development on recall of subject-performed tasks (SPTs)].
Free and cued recall of subject-performed tasks (SPTs) and verbally-presented sentences were tested with children of nine, 11, 13 years of age. In the SPTs condition, subjects performed mini-tasks (e.g., put on a hut) and memorized them. Results indicated that recall was higher for SPTs than for sentences, and that age affected the recall of sentences but not of SPTs. Beneficial effects of category cues were observed only for the 11- and 13-year-old age groups in the SPTs condition. These results were discussed in terms of the development of an organizational strategy.
