Recall timing characteristics of correct list-length-2 sequences in children’s first session.

Recall segment PrepI Wd1 Pause1 Wd2 Total duration
Recall segment timings (ascending sequence order)
9-year-olds 2.49 (1.78) .53 (.18) .66 (.55) .48 (.11) 4.16 (1.95)
11-year-olds 1.26 (.73) .42 (.13) .36 (.37) .46 (.10) 2.50 (.90)
Recall segment timings (descending sequence order)
9-year-olds 1.22 (1.56) .45 (.15) .31 (.14) .47 (.10) 2.46 (1.63)
11-year-olds 1.11 (.70) .39 (.09) .31 (.21) .42 (.11) 2.23 (.87)

Note. Standard deviations in parentheses. PrepI – preparatory interval, Wd1 = duration of first word, Pause1= interword pause between the first and second word, Wd2= duration of second word, Total Duration = Sum of all recall timing components.
