What Three-Year-Olds Remember from Their Past: Long-Term Memory for Persons, Objects, and Actions
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Hirte, Monika; Graf, Frauke; Kim, Ziyon; Knopf, Monika – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2017
From birth on, infants show long-term recognition memory for persons. Furthermore, infants from six months onwards are able to store and retrieve demonstrated actions over long-term intervals in deferred imitation tasks. Thus, information about the model demonstrating the object-related actions is stored and recognition memory for the objects as…

Dupierrix, Eve; Hillairet de Boisferon, Anne; Barbeau, Emmanuel; Pascalis, Olivier – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2015
Although human infants demonstrate early competence to retain visual information, memory capacities during infancy remain largely undocumented. In three experiments, we used a Visual Paired Comparison (VPC) task to examine abilities to encode identity (Experiment 1) and spatial properties (Experiments 2a and 2b) of unfamiliar complex visual…

Schooling and Everyday Cognitive Development among Kharwar Children in India: A Natural Experiment
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Brouwers, Symen A.; Mishra, Ramesh C.; van de Vijver, Fons J. R. – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2006
The confounding of chronological and educational age and of schooling and socioeconomic status are persistent problems in the study of the cognitive consequences of schooling. The educational system among the Kharwar in India provides a natural experiment to overcome these problems, since it shows neither source of confounding. The sample…

The Development of Short-Term Visual Memory in Young Children.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Walker, Peter; And Others – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 1994
Two experiments examined the development of children's memory for spatial location or color. Results refuted the proposal that in contrast to color, spatial location would not show developmental improvement because it is remembered automatically. Suggests that, for the age range studied, there was developmental change in the efficiency of…

Five-Year-Olds Can Show the Self-Reference Advantage
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Sui, Jie; Zhu, Ying – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2005
The current study developed a new paradigm to determine the age at which children begin to show the self-reference advantage in memory. Four-, 5-, and 10-year-olds studied lists of colourful object pictures presented together with self or other face image, and participants were asked to report aloud "who is pointing at the (object)."…

Developmental Aspects of Phonemic and Visual Similarity Effects: Further Evidence in Italian Children.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Longoni, Anna M.; Scalisi, T. G. – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 1994
Four experiments investigated phonemic and visual similarity effects in 5- and 10-year olds. Results suggested that young children rely on modality-dependent codes, which are probably automatically activated, and do not use a speech-based memory code for drawings and words. This pattern of findings appeared to be independent of culture and…
