Private speech on an executive task: relations with task difficulty and task performance [PDF]
Cognitive Development, 2005 Measures of private speech and task performance were obtained for a sample of 46 5- and 6-year-olds engaged on a mechanical version of the Tower of London (ToL) task. Two different sets of four puzzles of increasing difficulty were attempted on two occasions. In line with Vygotskian predictions, there was a quadratic relation between private speech and

Task difficulty moderates the revelation effect [PDF]
Memory & Cognition, 2016 Tasks that precede a recognition probe induce a more liberal response criterion than do probes without tasks-the "revelation effect." For example, participants are more likely to claim that a stimulus is familiar directly after solving an anagram, relative to a condition without an anagram.

Repetition and Task Difficulty [PDF]
Nature, 1964 A RECENT investigation into the effect of repetition of items on paired associate learning1 has indicated that a single repetition of a presented item aids learning but that further presentations of the item yield no additional benefit. The design of this experiment involved the replacement of all items not correctly associated on a trial with randomly
