  abstract  = {This study investigated study behavior and recall of a narrative text as a function of the reader's age, study time, and importance level of text units. Fifth graders, seventh graders, young- and older adults were asked to read a fairy tale, and do anything they liked to prepare for verbatim recall. Half of the subjects in each age group were assigned to an immediate recall condition; half were given additional study time. Examination of recall data showed that all subjects showed higher recall of important units in the text than unimportant units. This effect was independent of age and study time condition. Study behaviors varied significantly across age groups and study conditions: while adults underlined or took notes with equal frequency, children preferred note-taking as a study strategy. With additional study time, fifth graders, seventh graders, and older adults increased their strategic behavior; young adults did not.},

  abstract  = {This study explored the differential effects of strategy training on German and American elementaryschool children and assessed the role of parents in the development of their children's strategic behavior and metacognition. 184 German and 161 American children were pretested on memory and metamemory tasks. Children were then assigned to either an organizational strategy training condition or a control condition. All children were tested on the maintenance and far-transfer of the strategy and task-related metamemory 1 week following training. Parents completed questionnaires about strategy instruction in the home. Strategy maintenance and metacognition were reassessed 6 months following training. German children were more strategic than American children. Instructed children performed better than control children. German parents reported more instruction of strategies in the home. These data suggest that formal education is responsible for aspects of cognitive development that have sometimes been viewed as a function of age.},

  abstract  = {Previous research has shown German children to be more strategic on sort-recall memory tasks than their American age-mates, and to show fewer effort-related attributions. We conducted this study to determine if those differences are due to systematic differences in the strategy instruction and attributional beliefs of German and U.S. teachers, and to explore metacognitive instructional practices in the two countries. Teachers responded to a questionnaire that inquired about their use of strategy instructions, fostering of reflective thinking in pupils, sources of children's learning problems, and modeling of metacognitive skills such as monitoring. The second part of the questionnaire asked about the reasons underlying children's academic successes and failures. German teachers reported more instruction of task-specific strategies, while American teachers showed more effort-related attributions. The types of strategies instructed and types of learning problems most frequently described varied across the two countries, and also according to how many years the teachers had taught. Results were discussed regarding their implications for metacognitive developmental theory, particularly regarding culture and other environmental influences on the development of controlled processing.},
