Developmental
Trends in the Short term Recall Accuracy of Sentential Material
After Various Recall-Intervals
V.K. Kool & R. Agrawal |
Recall
accuracy for six transformational types and six degrees of grammatical-ness
of three-word sentences was measured after 0, 3, 6, 9, 12 and 18
seconds. The results obtained on a sample of 216 children of three
age groups were compared with the findings of Peterson and Peterson
(1959). From the mean scores and ANOVA results it may be concluded
that retention of sentential material is a joint function of the
recall interval, event certainty and age.
