Two interrelated aspects of allocation of study time were examined in grades 1, 3, 5, and 7 children: (a) distributing study time so that more difficult units were given more emphasis than others (differential allocation) and (b) determining how much time to spend for studying in order to meet the study goal (sufficient allocation). Children were asked to study a set of booklets (one "easy" or highly related and one "hard" or unrelated) of paired-associated items unit they were sure they could remember all the pairs perfectly. While grades 1 and 3 children spent approximately the same amount of time on hard pairs as they spent on easy pairs, grades 5 and 7 children spent a greater amount of time on hard pairs than they did on easy pairs. Age-related improvement in allocation of sufficient time was evidenced by the significantly higher number of older children (grades 5 and 7) than younger children (grades 1 and 3) achieving perfect recall. Older students also exhibited a greater knowledge of and tendency to use self-testing strategies to monitor how well learned items were. It should be noted, however, that event many of the older children were not entirely successful at recalling the items perfectly.
