Abstract	Evaluated with two age groups (mean age 8.1 years or 10.6 years) totaling 22 learning disabled children was whether there is an age related increase in recognition for visual nonverbal short term memory (STM) and the effects on STM of stimulus dimensionality, primacy, recency, and second choice responses. A serial recognition task was used to compare performance of the two age groups with two and three dimensional representations of nonverbal eight-point random shapes. Recognition of both dimensions was significantly better by older than younger children. No significant differences were found for either age group between two or three dimensional stimuli or in response strategies of first and second choices; but it was found that the three dimensional representations were recognized significatly better at the first serial position. Among significant departures from findings on verbal STM performance studies was that second choices were usually incorrect if the first choices were incorrect suggesting that similar mediational inefficiencies occurred.
