Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Quas, Jodi A.; Alexander, Kristen Weede; Goodman, Gail S.; Ghetti, Simona; Edelstein, Robin S.; Redlich, Allison – Cognitive Development, 2010
We examined adults' long-term autobiographical memory for a dramatic life event-participating as a child victim in a criminal prosecution because of alleged sexual abuse. The study is unique in several ways, including that we had extensive documentation concerning the sexual abuse allegations, the children's involvement in their legal case, and…

The Fabric of an Event: Different Sources of Temporal Invariance Differentially Affect 24-Month-Olds' Recall.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Bauer, Patricia J.; Travis, Lisa L. – Cognitive Development, 1993
Compared 24 month olds' ordered recall of events constrained by enabling relations with that of arbitrarily ordered events equated for familiarity and temporal invariance. Children's ordered recall of events constrained by enabling relations was superior to that of arbitrarily ordered ones, indicating that, after experience with an event in…

Visiting the Doctor: Children's Knowledge and Memory.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Clubb, Patricia A.; And Others – Cognitive Development, 1993
Examined within-domain variations in children's knowledge of the events or materials to be remembered and corresponding differences in recall. Five year olds were interviewed about their understanding of routine pediatric examinations, and the results were related to recall scores from similar studies. Findings confirm that, within a given domain,…

The Cultural Context of Talk about the Past: Implications for the Development of Autobiographical Memory.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Mullen, Mary K.; Yi, Soonhyung – Cognitive Development, 1995
Examined cultural influences on young children's talk about their experiences, and the role these discussions may play in the development of autobiographical memory. Found that Caucasian families engage more frequently in this kind of talk than Korean families. Caucasian adults reporting earlier childhood memories indicated that early linguistic…

Challenging Assumptions about Concepts.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Barsalou, Lawrence W. – Cognitive Development, 1993
This commentary on the article by Jones and Smith in this issue examines whether coherent conceptual cores exist in long-term memory; abstract propositions constitute conceptual cores; concepts in long-term memory control behavior; and the primary purpose of developing and using concepts is to taxonomize the environment.

A Fuzzy Trace Analysis of Categorical Inferences and Instantial Associations as a Function of Retention Interval.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Marx, Melvin H.; Henderson, Bruce B. – Cognitive Development, 1996
Two experiments on children's inferences and associative memory provided a supportive test of fuzzy-trace theory. Results indicated that false recognition of associated instances with delay declined for all children, and categorical inferences increased for older children. Verbatim memory and inferences were uncorrelated under short delay but…
