Piaget: a centennial celebration

Article Abstract:

A symposium celebrates the birth centenary of Jean Piaget, a renowned developmental psychologist, who passed away in Geneva in 1980. His theory of stage and structure in cognitive development has implications for the psychology of learning, emotion, memory, and perception. Piaget's concepts of constructivism and structuralism are great contributions to psychology. Born in Switzerland in 1896, Piaget started his scientific career as a young child and obtained his Ph.D in 1918. Interested in psychology, later he involved himself in developmental research on children.

Fuzzy-trace theory and false memory: new frontiers

Article Abstract:

Fuzzy-trace theory is a memory-falsification theory that has been significantly influenced by theories on interference, information processing and judgment and decision-making, as well as Piagetian thought. Tracing its foundation to the contrasting characteristics of gist and verbatim memory, fuzzy-trace theory can shed light on such developmental trends as reverse developmental findings, differential time courses for true and false memories and contrasting effects of trace strength.

Autosuggestibility in memory development

Article Abstract:

Analysis of experiments conducted on 276 school children below 9 years revealed illogic-consistent shifts in the children's memories of the statistics data given on class-inclusion problems. Autosuggestibility in memory investigations had more effects on the performance of older children than on younger children.
