The purpose of the present study was to investigate the age-related and encoding-, or retrieval- conditions-related differences in recall and to assess any possible interaction between encoding and retrieval conditions. 108 first and fifth grade children and college adults were presented a 30 item set of pictures for recall it a 2-trial study-test procedure. The data were analyzed in 3(age) × 3(encoding condition) × 3(retrieval condition) × 2(trials) mixed analyses of variance with repeated measures on the last factor. The results indicated the age-related differences in recall and encoding conditions-related differences in recall in the fifth-graders and college adults. Also, the first and fifth grade children`s recall was influenced by retrieval conditions. The fifth graders` recall was a function of the interaction of encoding and retrieval conditions.
