Some factors in children's learning and retention of concrete rules.

Abstract

An experiment investigated effects of (a) number of rules, (b) immediate vs. 3-day recall, (c) verbal vs. verbal plus pictorial cueing, and (d) IQ, on the learning and retention of concrete rules. Each rule wag composed of a highly pronounceable CVC as the name of a thing (a drawn shape), and an action (such as, "underline it"). 96 4th-grade children were the experimental SB. Following sessions providing prelearning on thing concepts and review of action concepts, different groups of children learned 3, 5, 7, or 9 rules from printed booklets, reading and recording each rule once. Virtually complete retention was obtained for 3 and 5 rules when measured immediately, significantly less for 7 and 9. Significant effects were not found for IQ or cueing method. After 3 days, the amount of retention was about 20% under all conditions.
