Both level of soccer knowledge and overall aptitude were varied in a factorial design. Third, fifth, and seventh grade children were given several measures of text recall and comprehension and were retested on these measures about 1 year later. Performance was more a function of soccer knowledge than of aptitude level.}, subject = {Psychologie}, 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. The results indicate that domain-specific knowledge can compensate for low overall aptitude on domain-related cognitive tasks.}, subject = {Psychologie}, language = {en} } @article{SchneiderKoerkelWeinert1987, author = {Schneider, Wolfgang and K{\"o}rkel, Joachim and Weinert, Franz E.}, title = {The effects of intelligence, self-concept, and attributional style on metamemory and memory behaviour}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-62050}, year = {1987}, abstract = {No abstract available}, subject = {Psychologie}, language = {en} }
