Description
Kindergarten, third, and sixth graders received one of two 22
item lists for cued-recall, with one-half of the items in each
list being typical examples of familiar categories, and onehalf
heing atypical category exemplars. For subjects in the
Age-Appropriate condition, the typicality of the items was
based on children's definitions of "item goodness," whereas
for subjects in the Adult-Norm condition, item typicality was
based on adult judgements. At all grade levels, typical items
were recalled to a greater extent than atypical items, and
recall in the Age-Appropriate condition was significantly
greater than in the Adult-Norm condition. In the Age-Appropriate
condition, processing differences between typical and
atypical category exemplars were interpreted as being due to
qualitative differences in how representative items were of
their categories, whereas the "typicality" effects in the Adult
Norm condition were hypothesized as being due to a quantitative
lack of category knowledge.
