Gómez Ariza Psicología Associative norms memory development associative knowledge in children Associative word knowledge changes throughout our lives (Anderson,1983). Thus, the organization and use of this knowledge may vary as afunction of cognitive development. However, there are no associative normsthat provide information about associative representation of Spanishspeaking children. The aim of the present study was to obtain normative dataon the associative knowledge of children ranging from 8 to 13 years of age.Thus, 58 words were presented to three groups of 100 children varying inages (8-9, 10-11, 12-13). Participants were asked to provide the first associateto a presented word that came to mind. Results indicated that there is anincrement in the percentage of associates, an increase in the number ofidiosyncratic responses and a decrease in strength of the associates as theages of the children increased from 8 to 13. Comparisons with adultnormative data are also provided. Results are interpreted as supportingevidence for developmental changes in knowledge organization. 2000 artículo científico 0211-2159 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=16921205 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=169 Psicológica application/pdf Universitat de València Psicológica (España) Num.2 Vol.21
