1. Message Plausibility and Children's Ability to Monitor Their Own Comprehension.

Author

Kooney, Sharon T. and Murphy, Martin D.

Abstract

Story length and plausibility were varied to see whether these factors significantly affect children's ability to monitor their comprehension. A total of 19 third graders and 25 sixth graders were individually read four stories in a counterbalanced order. Each story had one of the following sets of characteristics: long, low plausibility; short, high plausibility; short, low plausibility; or long, high plausibility. Subjects were asked to serve as consultants in helping to find problems with the stories. Several content representations for each condition were used to avoid content repetition, but across subjects the same themes appeared equally often in long and short stories. Four probe questions of increasing specificity were asked following the presentation of each story. The first two probes were general, preceding and following a request that the child recall the story. The third probe asked for information relating to inconsistency in the story, but did not point it out. The fourth probe explicitly pointed out the inconsistency. Each subject's score was the probe number at which he or she explicitly stated the inference that led to the contradiction in the story. Factors in the analysis of variance were subject's age, story plausibility level, and story length, with repeated measures on the last two variables. Overall, length of story had a small effect, primarily on ease of reporting. Story concreteness and plausibility had a large effect on monitoring ability. (RH)

2. Metamemory in the Aged.

Author

Akron Univ., OH. Dept. of Psychology. and Murphy, Martin D.

Abstract

Deficits involving metamemory (knowledge about memory) were investigated for elderly individuals in unfamiliar laboratory tasks. In Experiment I, 23 college age subjects and 23 active, community dwelling elderly subjects, roughly matched on socioeconomic status, were given a picture span estimation task, a test of actual span, and then a recall readiness task. In the recall readiness phase, each subject was given subspan (span minus 2), span, and supraspan (span plus 2) lists of pictures and told to take as much time as needed to insure accurate serial recall. The community dwelling elderly individuals were found to recall span and supraspan length lists more poorly than young subjects. The elderly also took considerably less time for study (in the supraspan condition, 30 seconds as opposed to 59 seconds for the young subjects). In Experiment II, prompting a chunking-rehearsal strategy led to somewhat improved performance in the elderly, but merely requiring the elderly to take sufficient time for study led to virtually perfect recall. The data suggest that the older adults were not strategy deficient, but rather may have failed to monitor their readiness to recall so that they did not know how long to study. Since metamemory deficits do appear in laboratory-type tasks, such deficits may, at least in part, account for the frequent poor performance of the elderly in such situations. (Author/JMB)
