Verbal and spatial working memory in school-age children
The development of verbal and spatial working memory was investigated with an interference paradigm. Memory spans were obtained from 3 groups (8-, 10-, and 19-year-olds) under 6 different conditions: Two primary memory tasks (1 verbal, 1 spatial) were administered in isolation and in conjunction with 2 versions of a secondary task. The primary tasks required recalling a series of visually presented digits and recalling the locations of Xs in a se…
Temporal discounting in choice between delayed rewards
Discounting of Delayed Rewards
In this study, children, young adults, and older adults chose between immediate and delayed hypothetical monetary rewards The amount of the delayed reward was held constant while its delay was varied All three age groups showed delay discounting, that is, the amount of an immediate reward judged to be of equal value to the delayed reward decreased as a function of delay The rate of discounting was highest for children and lowest for older adults,…
Effects of practice on speed of information processing in children and adults
In 2 experiments, children and adults were exposed to 4 different information-processing tasks. Consistent with the global trend hypothesis, age-sensitive linear relations were observed between child and adult latencies, and 10- and 11 -year-olds were approximately 1.7 and 1.6 times slower than 19-year-olds as predicted by R. Kail's (1991) growth function. In Experiment 1, the relation between child and adult latencies did not change over 4 sessi…
