Junge und erwachsene Schachexperten und -novizen wurden bezüglich ihrer Behaltensleistungen für kurzzeitig dargebotene Schachstellungen und für Anordnungen geometrischer Körper miteinander verglichen. Die Ergebnisse zeigen eine differenzierte Wirksamkeit von Expertise in Abhängigkeit von der Vertrautheit mit dem zu Lernenden Material und von der Art der Aufgabenstellung. Je vorwissensbezogener das zu Lernende Material ist, desto deutlicher ist der Einfluß von Expertise auf Gedächtnisleistungen nachweisbar. Dies gilt in gleicher Weise für unmittelbare wie für längerfristige Behaltensleistungen und für den Lernfortschritt. Im Unterschied dazu zeigt sich weder bei der Vorhersage eigener künftiger noch bei der Bewertung erbrachter Gedächtnisleistungen ein systematischer Einfluß von Expertise.
Im vorliegenden Beitrag werdenneuere nends in der Forschung zur frühen Prognose von Leseleistungen dargestellt. Der Überblick ergibt, daß sich insbesondere solche Forschungsarbeiten bewährt haben, die an kognitiven Informationsverarbeitungsmodellen orientiert sind. Über die Verknüpfung von korrelativen Längsschnitt- und experimentellen Trainingsstudien ließ sich belegen, daß die im Vorschul- bzw. Kindergartenalter beobachtete Informationsverarbeitungskompetenz eine kausale Beziehung zu der schulischen Leseleistung aufwies. Es wurde weiterhin gezeigt, daß phonologische Kompetenzen im Vorschulalter auch effizient trainiert werden können. Trotz dieser insgesamt beeindruckenden Befunde scheinen individuelle Prognosen des Schriftspracherwerbs nach wie vor jedoch problematisch.

In neueren Untersuchungen zur Mathematikerziehung im Elementarbereich wird verstärkt auf die Bedeutung kognitiver Prozesse (Strategien) für die erfolgreiche Bewältigung von Problemlöseaufgaben hingewiesen. Im vorliegenden Beitrag wird insbesondere auf das Wissen um kognitive Prozesse und deren Steuerung, also auf Metakognitionen eingegangen. Es wird zunächst eine Einführung in traditionelle Kategorien von Metakognition gegeben und dann auf eine Weiterentwicklung eingegangen, die als "Modell des kompetenten Strategie-Anwenders" bekanntgeworden ist. Dieses Modell wird dann als Grundlage für Empfehlungen benutzt, die darauf abzielen, den Mathematikunterricht effizienter zu gestalten.

Am Beispiel einer semantischen Kategorisierungsaufgabe (sort-recall task) wurde der Frage nachgegangen, in welchen Bestimmungsgrößen sich die Gedächtnisleistungen von Schulkindern, jüngeren sowie älteren Erwachsenen voneinander unterscheiden. Es wurde angenommen, daß für diese drei Altersgruppen Gedächtnisleistungen bei dieser Aufgabe in unterschiedlicher Weise durch Strategie- und Wissensaspekte bestimmt sind. Die im Vergleich zu Schulkindern und älteren Erwachsenen üblicherweise besseren Leistungen jüngerer Erwachsener sollten demnach im wesentlichen auf die konsequentere Nutzung von Gedächtnisstrategien rückführbar sein. Erwartet wurde weiterhin, daß die bei Schulkindern und älteren Erwachsenen oft vorfindbaren "Produktionsdefizite" in der Strategienutzung unterschiedliche Ursachen haben : fehlt es bei den Schülern am notwendigen Gedächtniswissen (Metagedächtnis), so sind die Defizite der älteren Menschen vorwiegend auf die mangelnde Erfahrung mit der Aufgabe zurückzuführen. Diese Annahmen wurden in einer Studie mit je 24 Probanden aus den drei genannten Altersgruppen überprüft. Während sich das erwartete Produktionsdefizit bei den Kindern auf unzureichendes Metagedächtnis zurückführen ließ, gab es wenig Anhaltspunkte dafür, daß das Strategiedefizit älterer Menschen in wesentlichen auf mangelnde Aufgabenerfahrung rückführbar ist. Leistungsunterschiede zwischen jüngeren und älteren Erwachsenen beruhen nicht auf unterschiedlichem Gedächtniswissen, sondern dürften auf dem kombinierten Einfluß von Strategie- und Kapazitätsdefiziten basieren.
Experimental research on memory development has typically focused on the description of universal development trends across the life span and the identification of major sources of development within this domain. 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.
Es wurde die Hypothese überprüft , daß ein enger Zusammenhang zwischen Metagedächtnis, Gedächtnisverhalten und -leistung bei Grundschulkindern dann hergestellt werden kann, wenn mittlere Aufgabenschwierigkeit und reliable Erfassungsinstrumente vorliegen sowie weiterhin Transferleistungen im Anschluß an eine Trainingsphase gefordert sind. Am Beispiel von semantischen Kategorisietungsaufgaben ergab sich für eine Stichprobe von Drinkläßlern, (N = 106), daß die postulierten korrelativen Zusammenhänge besonders für den Prätest (also vor Trainingsbeginn) nachweisbar waren. Die erwarteten Effekte eines aufgabenspezifischen Trainingsprogramms auf den Zusammenhang zwischen Wissen und Verhalten ließen sich nicht sichern. Anhand eines Kausalmodells ließen sich erste empirische Anhaltspunkte für die Bestätigung der sog. "Rückkoppelungshypotbese" (Brown, 1978; Flavell, 1978) finden, derzufolge kausale Wirkungsketten zwischen Metagedächtnis und Gedächtnisverhalten anzunehmen sind.
Es wird eine relativ einfach gehaltene Kurzcharakteristik derjenigen Clusteranalyse-Algorithmen gegeben, die aufgrund eines Literaturüberblicks (SCHNEIDER & SCHEIBLER 1983a) als die in der Fonchung hauptsächlich benutzten Verfahren einzustufen sind. Die Kurzbeschreibung verzichtet im wesentlichen auf statistische Details und verfolgt speziell das Ziel, dem Leser eine Vorstellung von Gemeinsamkeiten und Untenchieden in der Funktionsweise von hierarchischen Clusteranalysen, Optimierungs- bzw. Partitionierungstechniken, Dichteverfahren, "Clumping Techniques" und anderen Prozeduren zu geben.
Ziel der vorliegenden Untersuchung war es, Aufschluß über die unterschiedliche Qualität hierarchischer und nicht-hierarchischer (partionierender) Clusteranalyseverfahren zu gewinnen. Die Reproduktionsgüte beider Clusteranalyse-Varianten wurde anhand von 200 Monte-Carlo-Datensätzen (multivariat normalverteilte Mixturen) zu überprüfen versucht, wobei jeweils unterschiedliche Proportionen der Daten-Elemente klassifiZiert werden mußten. Es zeigte sich, daß insgesamt gesehen die hierarchischen Algorithmen nach WARD und LANCE-WILUAMS am besten dazu in der Lage waren, die vorgegebenen Datenstrukturen zu reproduzieren, andererseits aber die herangezogenen partitionierenden KMEANS-Verfahren nicht schlechter abschnitten, wenn die Lösung der WARD-Technik als Start-Partition vorgegeben wurde.

Neuere Untersuchungen zeigen, daß für die unterschiedlichen Gedächtnisleistungen bei Kindern nicht verschieden große Gedächtniskapazitäten verantwortlich sind. Vielmehr können manche Kinder die zum Lernen und Erinnern nötigen Strategien nicht effektiv genug einsetzen ; sie wissen zu wenig über ihr Gedächtnis. Eine Förderung dieses Gedächtniswissens könnte ihre schulischen Leistungen erheblich verbessern.
The nature of good information processing is outlined as determined by intact neurology, information stored in long-term memory, and general cognitive tendencies, attitudes, and styles. Educators can promote the development of good information processing by promoting what is in long-term memory. This can be accomplished by teaching important literary, scientific, and cultural knowledge; teaching strategies; motivating the acquisition and use of important conceptual knowledge and strategies; and encouraging the general tendencies supporting good information processing. Good information processing can be produced by years of appropriate educational input. Good information processors cannot be produced by short-term interventions.
Domain-Specific Knowledge and Memory Performance: A Comparison of High- and Low-Aptitude Children
(1989)
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.
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. 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.
High- and low-IQ children in the first, third, and fifth grades performed two free-recall tasks: a sort-recall task with sets of categorically related pictures, and a class-recall task, with children recalling the current members of their school class. 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.
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.
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.
The goal of the present study was to determine whether 4- and 5-year-old kindergarten children could be trained to maintain an organizational strategy over 2- and 8 week periods through an elaborate training program. 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.
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.
4-6-year-old children's understanding of cognitive cuing was studied in 2 experiments using a strategic interaction paradigm. 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.
A MODEL of good information processing is sketched, describing how metacognitive knowledge influences strategy selection and use. Three factors pose particular problems for learning disabled students as they attempt to acquire metacognitive knowledge and to use study strategies productively: neurological impairments; deficiencies in general world knowledge; and negative beliefs, attitudes, and styles that limit self-efficacy. Creating an educational atmosphere that explicitly builds conceptual (domain-specific) knowledge and teaches positive beliefs about learning potential is essential in promoting metacognitively-oriented instruction.
In a short-term longitudinal study, we investigated how domain-specific knowledge in soccer influences the amount of text recall and comprehension in elementary school and junior high school children of high and low overall aptitudes. 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.
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.
The present study investigated the relationshtp between developmental shifts in the organization of materials and developmental changes in deliberate strategy use. Second and fourth grade children were presented with clusterable sort/recall lists representing the factorial combinations of high and low interitem association, and high and low category relatedness. Strategy use in the task was rated by the experimenter and also assessed via self reports. General and task-related strategy knowledge tmetamemoryt was also examined. 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.
Thirty-two 4-year-olds and thirty-two 6-year-olds were tested for free and cued recall following either play-and-remember or sort-and-remember instructions and assessed for their metamemory of the efficacy of conceptual and perceptual sorting strategies. 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.
Nine hierarchical and four nonhierarchical clustering algorithms were compared on their ability to resolve 200 multivariate normal mixtures. The effects of coverage, similarity measures, and cluster overlap were studied by including different levels of coverage for the hierarchical algorithms, Euclidean distances and Pearson correlation coefficients, and truncated multivariate normal mixtures in the analysis. The results confirmed the findings of previous Monte Carlo studies on clustering procedures in that accuracy was inversely related to coverage, and that algorithms using correlation as the similarity measure were significantly more accurate than those using Euclidean distances. No evidence was found for the assumption that the positive effects of the use of correlation coefficients are confined to unconstrained mixture models.
This study addresses three themes that recur in the research on student achievement: (a) developmental modeling ofintraindividual changes in achievement over time; (b) examination of the differences among subgroups within a classroom in the determinants of achievement; (c) description of the interactions among instructional variables in determining achievement differences. Eight classrooms were preselected on the basis of their widely differing slopes obtained in a regression analysis of pre- and posttest achievement scores. Mathematics achievement differences among sixth graders were analyzed in a four-wave design and explained by aptitude and instructional variables in a structural equation framework provided by LISREL. The results demonstrate the local nature of achievement models in that neither their measurement nor structural components proved generalizable across both groups of classrooms. Mention is also made, however, of technical problems and analytical ambiguities in the interpretation of these results.
