The development of memory for ignored speech

Article Abstract:

The attention-free properties of short-term memory for spoken words change with childhood development. In visual primary task, older school children show better recall rates for ignored speech, as compared to younger children. However, their overall performance level remains high. Acoustic interference fails to affect memory for ignored speech. The performance levels are lower in verbal primary task. Memory decay for ignored speech is higher for younger children. There is a developmental increase in persistence for attention-free memory components.

Children's memories according to fuzzy-trace theory: an endorsement of the theory's purpose and some suggestions to improve its application

Article Abstract:

C.J. Brainerd and V.F. Reyna's work on the development of real and false memory in childhood dwells on the various types of memory traces and shows the efficiencies of mathematical modeling of memory. However, a thorough analysis of their model, particularly its experimental design and boundary conditions, reveals that, in its present form, the Brainerd and Reyna's model will not be able to manage situations where partial verbatim information is employed along with partial gist information or where information wields an inhibitory effect.

The differential maturation of two processing rates related to digit span

Article Abstract:

It has been proposed that rapid-speaking durations predict short-term memory spans. N Cowan and colleagues determined two separate processing durations linked to digit span for 7-8 year old, 9-10 year old and 11-12 year old children rapid speaking durations. The differential maturation of the two durations are established and it was found that a particular memory span accompanies different profiles of children's processing rates.
