The goal of the present study was to determine whether 4 and 5 year old kindergarten children could be trained to maintain an organizational strategy over 2 and 8 week periods through an elaborate training program. A second goal was to assess the effects of the training program on strategy awareness. Twenty eight kindergarten children were pretested on two sort recall tasks and their awareness of the use of the clustering strategy was assessed through a protocol type procedure. Half the children received seven half hour sessions of individual training in the clustering strategy and half the children participated in a control group. Both groups were post-tested on two sort-recall tasks 2 weeks following training and again 8 weeks following training. Strategy awareness, as measured by verbal protocol, was assessed at both post test points. The elaborate strategy training program was successful in inducing short and long term strategy maintenance of the clustering strategy. Trained children's clustering during sorting and clustering during recall was consistently related to the amount of items correctly recalled. No differences in strategy awareness were found. These findings demonstrate that the elaborate training procedure used in this study can be a very effective memory technique for young kindergarten children.
