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} } @inproceedings{SchneiderWeinert1989, author = {Schneider, Wolfgang and Weinert, Franz E.}, title = {Universal trends and individual differences in memory development}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-86518}, year = {1989}, abstract = {No abstract available.}, subject = {Ged{\"a}chtnisbildung}, language = {en} } @article{SchneiderWeinert1989, author = {Schneider, Wolfgang and Weinert, Franz E.}, title = {Der Einfluß von Wissen auf das Behalten und Verstehen von Texten}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-86495}, year = {1989}, abstract = {No abstract available.}, subject = {Wissen}, language = {de} }
