内容説明

For a number of decades now the study of children's memory development, with few exceptions, has been synonymous with the development of pro- cesses that lead to the initial encoding and immediate retention of informa- tion. Although there is little doubt that the study of such acquisition pro- cesses is central to understanding memory development, the long-term retention of previously encoded information represents at least as important a component of children's memory. Indeed, as both students of memory development and educators, our interest is in the maintenance and utiliza- tion of knowledge over considerable periods of time, not just in the immedi- ate (e. g. , classroom) context. Clearly, then, without an understanding of how recently acquired information is maintained in memory over extended periods of time, our theories of long-term memory development remain incomplete at best. Although children's forgetting and reminiscence was a topic of inquiry early in this century, it is only recently, due in part to the current controversy concerning the reliability of children's eyewitness testimony, that the study of long-term retention has resurfaced in the scientific literature. The purpose of this volume is to draw together some of the principals involved in this resurgence to summarize their recent research programs, present new and previously unpublished findings from their labs, and outline the issues they believe are important in the study of children's long-term retention.

内容説明

The controversy over the reliability of children's eyewitness testimony has helped to stimulate a renewed interest in the study of long-term retention. This study presents new and previously unpublished findings on long-term memory retention, and outlines the most important questions that have recently surfaced in the field. The contributors grapple with a number of key issues in long-term retention, including the extent to which a change in what is remembered is the result of alterations of the memories themselves in storage as well as alterations in how such memories are retrieved, how memories can be inoculated against forgetting, and how memories that are apparently gone can be reinstated.
