In the present study, data from the Munich Longitudinal Study on the Genesis of Individual Competencies (LOGIC) were used to explore this issue further. The secondary data analysis included data from about 200 participants whose IQ and WM was first assessed at the age of six and repeatedly measured until the ages of 18 and 23. Measures of reading, spelling, and math were also repeatedly assessed for this age range. Both regression analyses based on observed variables and latent variable structural equation modeling (SEM) were carried out to explore whether the predictive power of IQ and WM would differ as a function of time point of measurement (i.e., early vs. late assessment). As a main result of various regression analyses, IQ and WM turned out to be reliable predictors of academic achievement, both in early and later developmental stages, when previous domain knowledge was not included as additional predictor. The latter variable accounted for most of the variance in more comprehensive regression models, reducing the impact of both IQ and WM considerably. Findings from SEM analyses basically confirmed this outcome, indicating IQ impacts on educational achievement in the early phase, and illustrating the strong additional impact of previous domain knowledge on achievement at later stages of development.}, language = {en} } @article{KempertGoetzBlatteretal.2016, author = {Kempert, Sebastian and G{\"o}tz, Regina and Blatter, Kristine and Tibken, Catharina and Artelt, Cordula and Schneider, Wolfgang and Stanat, Petra}, title = {Training Early Literacy Related Skills: To Which Degree Does a Musical Training Contribute to Phonological Awareness Development?}, series = {Frontiers in Psychology}, volume = {7}, journal = {Frontiers in Psychology}, number = {1803}, doi = {10.3389/fpsyg.2016.01803}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-165272}, year = {2016}, abstract = {Well-developed phonological awareness skills are a core prerequisite for early literacy development.

Using a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group design and measurements across a period of 2 years, we tested the effects of two interventions: a consecutive combination of a musical and a phonological training and a phonological training alone. The design made it possible to disentangle effects of the musical training alone as well the effects of its combination with the phonological training. The outcome measures of these groups were compared with the control group with multivariate analyses, controlling for a number of background variables. The sample included N = 424 German-speaking children aged 4-5 years at the beginning of the study. We found a positive relationship between musical abilities and phonological awareness. Yet, whereas the well-established phonological training produced the expected effects, adding a musical training did not contribute significantly to phonological awareness development. Training effects were partly dependent on the initial level of phonological awareness. Possible reasons for the lack of training effects in the musical part of the combination condition as well as practical implications for early literacy education are discussed.}, 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} } @article{BjorklundSchneiderCasseletal.1994, author = {Bjorklund, David F. and Schneider, Wolfgang and Cassel, William S. and Ashley, Elizabeth}, title = {Training and Extension of a Memory Strategy: Evidence for Utilization Deficiencies in the Acquisition of an Organizational Strategy in High- and Low-IQ Children}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-62234}, year = {1994}, abstract = {143 9- and 10-year-oId children were classified into high- and Jow-IQ groups and given 4 different sort/recall lists (baseline, training, near [immediate] extension, far [l-week] extension) to assess training and extension of an organizational memory strategy.

In two longitudinal studies differences in phonological sensitivity among children before learning to read (at age 6 to 7) were tested with versions of Bradley \& Bryant's (1985) oddity detection task. Children's reading and spelling achievements were tested about one year later at the end of grade one, and again at around the age of 10. The main finding was a developmental change in the predictive relationship of rhyme and word-onset awareness. Rhyme awareness was only minimally predictive for reading and spelling achievement at the end of grade one, but gained substantially in predictive importance for reading and spelling achievement in grades three and four. No such predictive improvement was observed for word-onset awareness. It is proposed that rhyme awareness is initially of little importance, because in the first phase of learning to read German children rely heavily on indirect word recognition via grapheme--phoneme translation and blending. The gain in the predictive importance of rhyme awareness is explained by its helpful effect on the establishment of mental representations of written words. Such mental representations allow fast, direct word recognition and orthographically correct spellings. A wareness of larger phonological units is helpful for the efficient establishment of such representations, by allowing connections of recurring grapheme clusters in written words with phonology.}, subject = {Psychologie}, language = {en} } @incollection{SchneiderHasselhorn1994, author = {Schneider, Wolfgang and Hasselhorn, Marcus}, title = {Situational context features and memory development : insights from replications of Istomina's experiment}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-50397}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t W{\"u}rzburg}, year = {1994}, abstract = {No abstract available}, 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} } @incollection{Schneider1993, author = {Schneider, Wolfgang}, title = {Acquiring expertise: determinants of exceptional performance}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-86652}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t W{\"u}rzburg}, year = {1993}, abstract = {No abstract available.}, subject = {Hochbegabung}, language = {en} } @misc{Schneider1993, author = {Schneider, Wolfgang}, title = {Gifted children: How different are they?

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.

However, there is a lack of studies investigating the preconditions and effects of interindividual variability within age groups across different memory tasks. Similarly, our knowledge about the stability of interindividual differences across the life span as well as the sources and the amount of intraindividual variability across memory tasks is scarce. In the present chapter, we concentrate on these neglected issues. First, theoretical assumptions concerning the interindividual and intraindividual variability of memory development are discussed. Next, empirical evidence is presented that seems suited to document the importance of these neglected issues. While we try to give a representative account of the literature, the emphasis is on more recent studies of memory development in children and elderly adults conducted in our laboratory. The results demonstrate that age-related changes and individual differences in the knowledge base are particularly important for describing and explaining individual differences in memory develoment. In comparison, the rote of stable individual differences in basic memory capacities in explaining variations in memory development is less clear given tbe conflicting empirical evidence. In the final section of the chapter consequences for future research are discussed.}, subject = {Ged{\"a}chtnisbildung}, language = {en} } @article{PressleyCarigliaBullDeaneetal.1987, author = {Pressley, Michael and Cariglia-Bull, Teresa and Deane, Shelley and Schneider, Wolfgang}, title = {Short-term memory, verbal competence, and age as predictors of imagery instructional effectiveness}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-62046}, year = {1987}, abstract = {No abstract available}, subject = {Psychologie}, language = {en} }
