Background:

Understanding the interplay between memory, strategy use, and metamemory is crucial for cognitive development.
Previous research indicates age-related differences in memory performance and strategy application.
The role of metamemory in mediating strategy use and performance requires further investigation, particularly in children.

Purpose of the Study:

To examine the relationships between verbalized knowledge (metamemory), strategy use, and memory task performance in children.
To investigate how different episode characteristics (material type, sequence logic) influence memory recall.
To explore the impact of questioning methods (general vs. specific) on assessing metamemory and its relation to strategy use.

Main Methods:

Participants included kindergarten, second-grade, and fifth-grade students.
A memory task involved reconstructing visually presented picture sequences (episodes) varying in material type (typical vs. atypical) and sequence logic (logical vs. illogical).
Metamemory was assessed through general and specific questioning regarding strategy use and reasoning during the task.

Main Results:

Children at all ages recalled logical sequences better than illogical ones.
Older children (second and fifth grade) recalled typical animal episodes better than atypical geometric form episodes.
A correspondence between strategy use and metamemory was observed, particularly during specific questioning; however, general questioning revealed strategy use preceded verbalized knowledge.

Conclusions:

Memory performance is influenced by both the inherent structure of information (sequence logic) and material familiarity.
Metamemory assessment methods significantly impact the observed relationship between strategy use and verbalized knowledge.
Findings highlight the developmental progression in memory strategies and the importance of considering assessment context in understanding children's cognitive processes.
