T1 - Domain-Specific Knowledge and Memory Performance: A Comparison of High- and Low-Aptitude Children N2 - 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.

All children received categorized items of moderate typicality for Phases 1, 3, and 4. For Phase 2, children were assigned to either a training or control group, with half of the children in each group receiving category typical items and the others category atypical items. Levels of recall, sorting, and clustering were greater in Phase 2 for high-IQ children, for the typical lists, and for trained children. Both the high- and low-IQ children trained with typical items continued to show high levels of recall on the near extension phase. No group of subjects maintained high levels of recall after 1 week, although levels of sorting and/or clustering on the extension trials remained high for all groups of subjects except the low-IQ control children. This latter pattern (elevated sorting/clustering with low levels of recall) is an indication of a utilization deficiency, a phase in strategy development when children use a strategy but gain little or no benefit n performance. The results provide evidence for IQ, training, and material effects in the demonstration of a utilization deficiency.

All children were deemed to be experts concerning the composition of their school class, but, unlike experts in other domains, had no special motivation associated with their expertise. Recall and clustering on both tasks were high. The high-IQ children performed better than low-IQ children only on the sort-recall task. IQ was significantly correlated with measures of performance on the sort-recall task but not on the class-recall task. The results reflect the fact that the memory benefits associated with being an expert (here, elimination of IQ effects) are related to the greater knowledge the expert possesses and not to factors of motivation.

A1 - Schneider, Wolfgang T1 - The role of children's expertise in a Strategie memory task N2 - In a study intended to replicate and extend the findings from a recent experiment by Schneider and Bjorklund (1992), the expert/novice paradigm was used with second- and fourth-grade children in a sort/recall task. Children were classified as experts or novices for their knowledge of baseball, then given two sort/recall tasks, with a list consisting of either baseball or nonbaseball terms. Experts recalled more than novices on the baseball list only. While both groups used organizational strategies at sorting on the nonbaseball list, experts were marginally more strategic than novices on the baseball list, and no differences were found between the groups on either list for clustering. Baseball experts used more adultlike categories, suggesting that their enhanced levels of recall were attributed in part to strategy use, although there was also evidence that most of the substantial recall difference between the groups was attributed to item-specific effects associated with a more elaborated knowledge base. A second experiment using fifth-grade children on a multitrial sort/recall task using the baseball list also found increased recall by experts, and also found evidence of strategic behavior at the sort phase for trials 3 and 4.

T1 - Expertise, aptitude, and strategic remembering N2 - 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.

A second goal was to assess the effects of the training program on strategy awareness. Twenty-eight kindergarten children were pretested on two sort-recall tasks and their awareness of the use of the clustering strategy was assessed through a protocol type procedure. Half the children received seven half-hour sessions of individual training in the clustering strategy and half the children participated in a control group. Both groups were post-tested on two sort-recall tasks 2 weeks following training and again 8 weeks following training. Strategy awareness, as measured by verbal protocol, was assessed at both post-test points. The elaborate strategy training program was successful in inducing short- and long-term strategy maintenance of the clustering strategy. Trained children’s clustering during sorting and clustering during recall was consistently related to the amount of items correctly recalled. No differences in strategy awareness were found. These findings demonstrate that the elaborate training procedure used in this study can be a very effective memory technique for young kindergarten children.

N2 - 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.

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.

Second graders displayed more category clustering during recall for highly associated items than for weakly associated items. whereas older children’s recall organization (but not recall) was unaffected by this organizational dimension. Correlations among measures of metamemory and organizational behavior indicated that second graders in general were unaware of the importance of categorization strategies for facilitation of recall. On the other hand. sorting during study and task-related metamemory were the most important predictors of fourth graders’ recall performance, thus indicating that most fourth graders used categorization strategies deliberately.

The younger children recalled significantly more items under sort-and-remember than under play-and-remember instructions, whereas no significant recall differences between instructional conditions were found for the older children. However, 6-year-olds showed higher levels of recall than 4-year-olds in both instructional conditions. Category cues were much more effective than color cues, regardless of age. In addition, clustering scores indicated that conceptual organization at both encoding and retrieval increased with age and with instruction. These results show that from 4 to 6 years of age children are learning to spontaneously employ memory strategies. In addition, they highlight the increasing importance of conceptual organization to retention of young children. Finally, the metamemory data suggest that there may be a lag between children’s articulated declarative knowledge about the usefulness of conceptual organization and their procedural use of it.

T1 - Brain potentials during mental arithmetic: effects of extensive practice and problem difficulty N2 - Recent behavioral investigations indicate that the processes underlying mental arithmetic change systematically with practice from deliberate, conscious calculation to automatic, direct retrieval of answers from memory [Bourne, L.E.Jr. and Rickard, T.C., Mental calculation: The development of a cognitive skill, Paper presented at the Interamerican Congress of Psychology, San Jose, Costa Rica, 1991; Psychol. Rev., 95 (1988) 492-527]. Results reviewed by Moscovitch and Winocur [In: The handbook of aging and cognition, Erlbaum, Hillsdale, NJ, 1992, pp. 315-372] suggest that consciously controlled processes are more dependent on frontal lobe function than are automatic processes. It is appropriate, therefore to determine whether transitions in the locus of primary brain activity occur with practice on mental calculation. In this experiment, we examine the relationship between characteristics of event-related brain potentials (ERPs) and mental arithmetic. Single-digit mental multiplication problems varying in difficulty (problem size) were used, and subjects were trained on these problems for four sessions. Problem-size and practice effects were reliably found in behavioral measures (RT). The ERP was characterized by a pronounced late positivity after task presentation followed by a slow wave, and a negativity during response indication. These components responded differentially to the practice and problem-size manipulations. Practice mainly affected topography of the amplitude of positivity and offset latency of slow wave, and problem-size mainly offset latency of slow wave and pre-response negativity. Fronto-central positivity diminished from session to session, and the focus of positivity centered finally at centro-parietal regions. This finding suggests that frontal lobe processing is necessary as long as task performance is not automatized, while automatized arithmetic processing requires parietal brain activity only. The pre-response negativity observed in the first session and during more difficult tasks is assumed to reflect excitatory preparatory processes, which could be associated with activation of calculation strategies.

In our psychophysiological model of panic attacks we postulate the following vicious circle: individuals with panic attacks perceive even quite small increases in heart rate and interpret these changes as being catastrophic. This elicits anxiety and a further increase in heart rate. To evaluate this model we conducted a field study of 28 subjects with panic attacks and 20 healthy controls. A 24 hr ambulatory ECG was recorded and the subjects were instructed to report any cardiac perceptions during this period and to rate the anxiety elicited by these perceptions. The incidence of cardiac perceptions was about the same in both groups, but only subjects with panic attacks reported anxiety associated with such perceptions. Analysis of the ECGs revealed that in both groups heart rate accelerations preceded cardiac perceptions. Following cardiac perceptions, the healthy controls showed a heart rate deceleration, whereas the subjects with panic attacks had a further acceleration. This heart rate increase after cardiac perceptions was positively related to the level of anxiety elicited by the perceptions. These results provide clear evidence in support of the vicious circle model of panic attacks.

With regard to validity, results from a longitudinal study of 36 depressed patients and nine controls as weil as often schizophrenic patients and their relatives will be referred to. These results are used to illustrate the following principles which have to be taken into account when studying facial behavior: a) communication strongly facilitates facial expression, b) activation of facial behavior follows the "principle of least effort", and c) the principle of individual specificity applies to the association of nonverbal behavior and mood states. Making allowance for these principles has, among others, consequences a) for situations or conditions under which to asses behavior (specifically conditions of communication), b) for data analysis (e.g., dealing with frequent and rare events), and c) for empirical or experimental strategies (e.g., aggregation of single-case longitudinal comparisons). From the results on facial behavior during depression it can be concluded that the nonverbal reaction tendencies of endogenous and neurotic depressed patients differ. Moreover, the differential behavioral pattems observed cast doubt on the assumption of a homogeneity of affects in depression. Taking into account the conditions which govern it, facial behavior has proved to be a valid and, especially, a differential indicator for pathoIogic affective states and their changes. Given the fact that a psychiatric illness generally incorporates emotional problems it is more than surprising that little attention has been paid to the systematic study of emotional behavior. Some of the reasons for this will be clarified in the following. N2 - Dieser Beitrag gibt eine Übersicht über die Möglichkeiten zur Erfassung mimischen Verhaltens. Zur Bewertung der Validität werden Ergebnisse aus einer Verlaufsuntersuchung an 36 depressiven Patienten und neun Kontrollpersonen sowie von zehn schizophrenen Patienten und ihren Angehörigen herangezogen. Diese Ergebnisse sollen die folgenden Prinzipien, die bei der Untersuchung mimischen Verhaltens zu berücksichtigen sind, illustrieren: a) Kommunikation erleichtert in hohem Maße das Auftreten mimischen Ausdrucks, b) die Aktivierung mimischen Verhaltens folgt dem "Prinzip des geringsten Aufwandes", und c) auf die Beziehung zwischen nonverbalem Verhalten und Stimmungszuständen trifft das Prinzip der Individuenzpezifität zu. Aus diesen Prinzipien ergeben sich Konsequenzen a)für die Situationen oder Bedingungen, unter denen Verhalten zu erfassen ist (speziell Bedingungen der Kommunikation), b) für die Datenanalyse (z. B. die statistische Behandlung häufiger und seltener Ereignisse) und c) für empirische oder experimentelle Strategien (z. B. die Aggregation von Einzelfall-Verlaufsbeobachtungen). Aus den Ergebnissen zum mimischen Verhalten in der Depression kann geschlossen werden, daß sich endogen und neurotisch depressive Patienten hinsichtlich ihrer nonverbalen Reaktionstendenzen unterscheiden. Darüber hinaus stellen die differentiellen Verhaltensmuster die Annahme einer Affekthomogenität in der Depression in Frage. Berücksichtigt man die Bedingungen, die das mimische Verhalten steuern, so erweist es sich als valider und insbesondere differentieller Indikator für pathologische affektive Zustände und deren Veränderungen. Angesichts der Tatsache, daß eine psychiatrische Erkrankung im allgemeinen emotionale Probleme beinhaltet, so ist es mehr als erstaunlich, daß bisher dem Studium des unmittelbaren emotionalen Ausdrucksverhaltens so wenig Aufmerksamkeit geschenkt wurde. Einigen Gründen hierfür wollen wir im folgenden nachgehen.

Differences were evaluated between diabetics without neuropathy (N = 14), with mild neuropathy (N = 23) and with severe neuropathy (N = 9). It was found that mild autonomie neuropathy is related to a small increase in somatic problems (resulting from diabetes). In spite of this, autonomie deafferentation leads to a de~rease in somatic complaints (Freiburger Beschwerden Liste (FBL» and to a reduction in emotionality (assessed with personality questionaires (SCOPE and FPI». Patients with severe autonomie neuropathy exhibit frequent somatic problems. The somatic complaints and the emotionality of these patients are comparable with diabetics without neuropathy.

This finding is not consistent with the results of a study by Istomina (1975), conducted in 1948, leading to the concJusion that (a) preschoolers do not use voluntary remembering, and (b) children generally recall better in play situations than in typical experimental settings. In this study, two experiments were conducted to replicate Istomina's research. In the first, it was shown that Istomina's findings were replicable when methodological problems in the procedure were ignored. Experiment 2 improved methodologically upon Istomina's experimental methods and did not produce results to support her concJusions. Four- and 6-year-olds showed voluntary memory in play activities as weH as in laboratory-type settings, and remembered equally weB in both contexts. The results did not support the assumption that memory performance in young children can be substantially facilitated by motivating contexts.

Zentral ist dabei die Frage, ob sich identische Kausalstrukturen für beginnende und geübte Rechtschreiber (Schüler der zweiten w. vierten Klasse) nachweisen lassen. Konventioneffe Verfahren der Kausafanafysa hatten sich in der Primärstudie (Schneider 1980) als unökonomisch und wenig aussagekräftig erwiesen, 10 daß in der Sekundäranalvse auf eine flexiblere Prozedur zurückgegriffen wird. Mit diesem Verfahren zur AnaIVse von Strukturgleichungssysteman (LiSREL) ist es möglich, für die Gruppe der Zweitund Viertkläßler Modelle zu entwickeln und zu überprüfen, die mit den Ausgangsdaten kompatibel sind. Als wesentliches Ergebnis zeigt sich, daß die theoretisch postulierte Bedingungsstruktur nur für die Viertkläßler (eingeschränkt) bestätigt werden kann, während für die Schüler der zweiten Klassenstufe ein grundlegend verschiedenes Muster resultiert.

Parsimonious and rat her elegant causal models are constructed and tested for both age groupI, showing different causal panerns for beginning and advanced speilers. Only in case of the fourth graders the resulting causal structure has soma simifarity to the modal derived from theoreticaf assumptions.

Daraus folgt, daß für die Prüfwörter in normierten Rechtschreibtests zumindest hinreichende Vorkommensfrequenz gewährleistet sein sollte. Diese Frage wird in der vorliegenden Untersuchung am Beispiel des Allgemeinen Schulleistungstests überprüft: für die ausgewählten Klassenstufen kann gezeigt INerden, daß die Vorkommenshäufigkeit der PrüfWÖfter nicht ausreicht und damit wenig geeignet ist, um die tatsächliche Rechtschreibfertigkeit zu erfassen. Der Vergleich mit mehreren eng am Curriculum orientierten Diktatproben kann gleichzeitig die Schwierigkeiten verdeutlichen, die dann entstehen, wenn zuverlässige Bestimmungen der individuellen Rechtschreibkompetenz vorgenommen werden sollen. N2 - While there seems to be a long tradition in educationalliterature postulating astriet connection between spetting ability and test i ntelligence , recent theoretical analyses of the spetting process have emphasized the importance of basic memory skills. As a consequence ward frequency should be controlled in order to test individual spelUng competence. For a specific norm-oriented speUing test the empirical analysis can show that the importance of sufficient ward frequencv has been underestimated. The comperison with four other criterion.ariented spelling tests proves that the norm.ariented procedure cannot assess the true spelling competence; but it shows, tao, the general difficulty to come to a reliable estimation of individual spetting ,kills.

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.

Übergeordnetes Ziel dieser Arbeit ist deswegen die Prüfung der Durchführbarkeit einer entscheidungstheoretischen Skalierungsmethode hei Schülern jüngeren Alters. N2 - Two sampIes (N = 309) of fourth, sixth, and eighth graders were uscd to try a decision-theoretieal scaling method of determining the subjective value of marks under threc instructions, namely, promotion, dass excrcise with the use of probabilities, and dass exereise without the use of probahilitics. Comparisons with results of similar studies show considerable differences. Considerations and evaluations of one- and two-dimensionality of behavior gavc no unequivocal results. There seem to be two groups, one comprising 'confidence' and the other 'random' sclectors. Accordingly, the decision-theoretical scaling method is not applicable to pupils of thc age gl'OUPS used in this test, if the particular situations involve certain prohabilities. Some of the tests whieh were eonducted without the use of probabilities yielded positive results.

N2 - Previous investigations on the decisive behabiour of children allow two interpretations of so-called situation-related choices. Decisions of students aged 8 to 14 years showed that choices due to situations may be regarded as oriented toward the expectation maximum. The relation between this orientation and variables such as age, type of school and previous experience proved to be positive. Furthermore it was verified that the frequency of choice of the expectation maximum depends on the accentuation of the expectation maximum. However, the validity of the objective model of expectation maximation had to bc restricted because of various findings KW - Psychologie Y1 - 1975 U6 - http://nbn-resolving.de/urn/resolver.pl?urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-43784 ER - TY - JOUR A1 - Hommers, Wilfried T1 - Zur Validität der Portfolio-Theorie im Entscheidungsverhalten von Schulkindern N2 - No abstract available KW - Psychologie Y1 - 1976 U6 - http://nbn-resolving.de/urn/resolver.pl?urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-43775 ER - TY - JOUR A1 - Strack, Fritz A1 - Deutsch, Roland T1 - Reflective and Impulsive Determinants of Social Behavior N2 - This article describes a 2-systems model that explains social behavior as a joint function of reflective and impulsive processes. In particular, it is assumed that social behavior is controlled by 2 interacting systems that follow different operating principles. The reflective system generates behavioral decisions that are based on knowledge about facts and values, whereas the impulsive system elicits behavior through associative links and motivational orientations. The proposed model describes how the 2 systems interact at various stages of processing, and how their outputs may determine behavior in a synergistic or antagonistic fashion. It extends previous models by integrating motivational components that allow more precise predictions of behavior. The implications of this reflective–impulsive model are applied to various phenomena from social psychology and beyond. Extending previous dual-process accounts, this model is not limited to specific domains of mental functioning and attempts to integrate cognitive, motivational, and behavioral mechanisms.
