The nature and development of nonverbal implicit memory

Article Abstract:

The developmental course of nonverbal implicit memory is different from that of explicit memory, and perceptual processes mediate priming, an index of implicit memory function. Four to 10 year old children show significant priming effects, with picture identification being better for old rather than novel stimuli. Pictorial priming is also evident for the same-name items, especially when they are perceptually similar to old items. Implicit memory is operative by four years of age, and age fails to affect it. However, explicit memory increases with age.

Dissociating automatic and intentional processes in children's eyewitness memory

Article Abstract:

There has been much research into identifying the conditions under which children may be adversely affected by misleading information after experiencing an event. Experiments examined the contribution of automatic and intentional memory processes to five and eight year old children's acceptance of misinformation. Automaticity and recollection was found to influence misinformation acceptance, although the role of automatic processes declines with age.

Developmental changes in categorization processes: knowledge and similarity-based modes of categorization

Article Abstract:

Six- and eleven-year-old children enrolled in Sydney schools were the subjects in a classification learning experiment on knowledge and similarity-based mode of categorization. The relationship between preexisting knowledge and similarity-based information was investigated. Results showed that both age-group subjects displayed the influence of prior social knowledge in judging the categories.
