Study Notes
Long-Term Memory
- Children typically have good recognition memory, but poor recall memory.
- 2-year-olds recognized 80% of objects in a recognition task, 4-year-olds 90%.
- In a recall task, 2-year-olds recalled 20% of items, 4-year-olds 40%.
- Children do not develop memory strategies until middle childhood, which is why they have poor recall memory
Autobiographical Memory and Early Childhood
- Children younger than 2 years old have limited autobiographical memory
- It's possible that they don't have a well-organized sense of self
Memory Strategies
- Young children may not realize that strategies can be helpful
- They may not be able to use strategies effectively, known as utilization deficiency
- Older children are better at using strategies
- They use a variety of strategies and monitor their use more effectively
Types of Memory Strategies
- Rehearsal: repeating items over and over
- 4 and 5-year-olds do not spontaneously rehearse, 7-year-olds do
- Organizational strategies: categorizing and grouping
- Effective for adults, but findings on effectiveness in the elderly are complex
Metamemory
- Metamemory refers to knowledge, monitoring, and control of memory
Metamemory in Children
- Young children have difficulty understanding how memory works
- Metamemory is related to memory performance
Metamemory in the Elderly
- The stereotype of poor memory in the elderly can be self-fulfilling
- Those who believe memory decline is inevitable may not adopt strategies
- Those with high memory self-efficacy typically use effective strategies and perform well
- Elderly adults and young adults are similar in some aspects of metamemory
Language Development
- Children make remarkable progress in language acquisition in a short period
- By age 5, most children produce sentences like adults'
- Children at 6 years old can speak around 10,000-14,000 words
