The influence of a given event on long-term memory formation of another one has been a relevant topic of study in the neuroscience field in recent years. Students at school learn contents which are usually tested in exam format. However, exam elevates the arousal state of the students acting as a mild stressor that could influence another memory…

A Timing-Specific Memory Distortion Effect in Young Children
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

McCormack, Teresa; Brown, Gordon D. A.; Smith, Mark C.; Brock, Jon – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2004
It has been suggested that there are systematic distortions in children's memory for temporal durations, such that children's memory is not just less accurate than that of adults but qualitatively different. Experiment 1 replicated the memory distortion effect by demonstrating developmental change in the tendency to confuse a reference duration…

What Infant Memory Tells Us about Infantile Amnesia: Long-Term Recall and Deferred Imitation.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Meltzoff, Andrew N. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1995
Long-term recall memory was assessed in 14- and 16 month-olds using a nonverbal method requiring subjects to reenact a past event from memory. The results demonstrated significant deferred imitation after delays of two and four months, and that the toddlers retained and imitated multiple acts. (MDM)

One- to Two-Year-Olds' Recall of Events: The More Expressed, the More Impressed.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Bauer, Patricia J.; Wewerka, Sandi Saeger – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1995
Examined the recall of 13-, 16-, and 20-month-old toddlers of laboratory events after delays of 1-3, 6, 9, and 12 months. Found that all toddlers remembered the events regardless of age or delay interval. Language ability at the time of exposure to the events predicted verbal expression of the memory after the delay.
