| Abstract: | Reports an error in "Network interference and number-fact retrieval: Evidence from children's alphaplication" by D. Jeffrey Graham and Jamie I. Campbell (Canadian Journal of Psychology Revue Canadienne de Psychologie, 1992Mar], Vol 461], 65-91). Figure 1 was inadvertently omitted. Reprints of this article, available from the authors, will include this figure. (The following abstract of the original article appeared in record 1992-42555-001.) Investigated the origins of several phenomena of number-fact retrieval by asking 45 children (aged 8 yrs 2 mo to 10 yrs 7 mo) to memorize alphaplication facts (arithmetic-like memory items composed of letters instead of numbers). Ss' performance in the task showed paralleled aspects of simple arithmetic performance. There was a strong performance advantage for tie over nontie problems on both reaction time (RT) and errors. Specific errors frequently involved operand-related answers. Correct RTs and error rates across problems were closely linked. Correct answers to poorly learned problems tended to be the most common error responses. Performance was not as good for problems that were introduced later in the learning sequence. Results support the network-interference approach to number-fact retrieval of J. I. Campbell and D. J. Graham (see record 1986-16912-001).
