Summary
Numerous studies on the development of memory strategies have been carried out since the mid-1960s. Chapters 4 and 5 summarize major findings of this research program. My comments elaborate on core results in this field, focusing on interrelationships among strategy use, metacognitive knowledge, and domain knowledge during the course of childhood and adolescence. It is demonstrated that longitudinal research, in particular, research carried out in educational contexts, significantly adds to our knowledge in this field. Moreover, it is shown that research findings presented by Peter Ornstein and his colleagues considerably contributed to our understanding of children’s memory strategy development.
