Educators can promote the development of good information processing by promoting what is in long-term memory. This can be accomplished by teaching important literary, scientific, and cultural knowledge; teaching strategies; motivating the acquisition and use of important conceptual knowledge and strategies; and encouraging the general tendencies supporting good information processing. Good information processing can be produced by years of appropriate educational input. Good information processors cannot be produced by short-term interventions.}, subject = {Psychologie}, language = {en} } @article{SchneiderBjorklund1992, author = {Schneider, Wolfgang and Bjorklund, David F.}, title = {Expertise, aptitude, and strategic remembering}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-62175}, year = {1992}, abstract = {Second- and fourth-grade children were classified according to their knowledge of soccer (experts vs. novices) and IQ (high vs. low), and given 2 sort-recall tasks. One task included items related to the game of soccer and the other included items from familiar natural language categories. Previous research has shown that expertise in a snbject can compensate for low levels of performance on text comprehension tasks. Our results, the flrst examing the effects of both expertise and intelligence on a strategic memory task, were that soccer expert children recalled more items on the soccer list bnt not on the nonsoccer list than soccer novice children. However, soccer expertise did not modify a significant effect of IQ level, with high-IQ children recalling more than low-IQ children for all contrasts. Interest in soccer was found to be related to expertise but did not contribute to differences in memory performance. The results demonstrate that the knowledge base plays an important role in children's memory, but that domain knowledge cannot fully eliminate the effects of IQ on sort-recall tasks using domain-related materials. That is, although rich domain knowledge seemed to compensate for low aptitude, in that low-aptitude experts performed at the level of high-aptitude novices, its effects were not strong enough to eliminate performance differences between highand low-aptitude soccer experts.}, subject = {Psychologie}, language = {en} } @article{WoloshynPressleySchneider1992, author = {Woloshyn, Vera E. and Pressley, Michael and Schneider, Wolfgang}, title = {Elaborative interrogation as a function of prior knowledge}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-62187}, year = {1992}, abstract = {No abstract available}, subject = {Psychologie}, language = {en} } @incollection{KoerkelSchneider1992, author = {K{\"o}rkel, Joachim and Schneider, Wolfgang}, title = {Domain-specific versus metacognitive knowledge effects on text recall and comprehension}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-86647}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t W{\"u}rzburg}, year = {1992}, abstract = {No abstract available.}, subject = {Unterricht}, language = {en} } @article{SchneiderKoerkelWeinert1989, author = {Schneider, Wolfgang and K{\"o}rkel, Joachim and Weinert, Franz E.}, title = {Domain-Specific Knowledge and Memory Performance: A Comparison of High- and Low-Aptitude Children}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-62107}, year = {1989}, abstract = {Two studies compared memory performance and text comprehension of groups that were equivalent on domain-specific knowledge but differed in overall aptitude, to investigate whether prior knowledge about a particular domain or overall aptitude level was more important when the task was to acquire and use new information in the domain of interest. Both studies dealt with third-, fifth-, and seventh-grade soccer experts' and novices' memory and comprehension of a story dealing with a soccer game. Several measures of memory performance, memory monitoring, and text comprehension were used. Levels of soccer knowledge and of overall aptitude were varied in a factorial design. Neither study detected significant differences between high-aptitude and low-aptitude experts, regardless of their ages. Low aptitude experts outperformed high-aptitude novices on all memory and comprehension measures.

Eight classrooms were preselected on the basis of their widely differing slopes obtained in a regression analysis of pre- and posttest achievement scores. Mathematics achievement differences among sixth graders were analyzed in a four-wave design and explained by aptitude and instructional variables in a structural equation framework provided by LISREL. The results demonstrate the local nature of achievement models in that neither their measurement nor structural components proved generalizable across both groups of classrooms.

Ghildren could fool a competitor by hiding targets in locations that were labeled with semantically weakly associated cues and help a cooperative partner by hiding them in semantically highly associated locations. Very few 4-year-olds, half the 5-year-olds, and almost all 6-year-olds appropriately chose semantically highly vs. weakly associated hiding places to make the targets easy vs. difficult to find. The second experiment showed that 4-year-olds did not strategically manipulate cues as sources of information, although they themselves proficiently used them as such in a search task. These findings are discussed with regard to research on children's developing understanding of origins of knowledge and belief and with regard to recent claims that young preschoolers possess a metacognitive understanding of cognitive cuing.}, subject = {Psychologie}, language = {en} } @article{SchneiderGruberGoldetal.1993, author = {Schneider, Wolfgang and Gruber, Hans and Gold, Andreas and Opwis, Klaus}, title = {Chess expertise and memory for chess positions in children and adults}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-62211}, year = {1993}, abstract = {No abstract available}, subject = {Psychologie}, language = {en} } @misc{Schneider1988, author = {Schneider, Wolfgang}, title = {Book Reviews: Cognition, Metacognition, and Reading}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-62079}, year = {1988}, abstract = {No abstract available}, subject = {Psychologie}, language = {en} } @article{RabinowitzOrnsteinFoldsBennettetal.1994, author = {Rabinowitz, Mitchell and Ornstein, Peter A. and Folds-Bennett, Trisha H. and Schneider, Wolfgang}, title = {Age-related differences in speed of processing: Unconfounding age and experience}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-62223}, year = {1994}, abstract = {No abstract available}, subject = {Psychologie}, language = {en} }
