[Effects of presenting proposition on scene recognition memory in adults and children].
The purpose of the present experiment was to examine the effect of presenting proposition on scene recognition memory for preschool children and college students. Subjects viewed a series of scenes and were asked to remember them. On viewing scenes, subjects were presented the proposition of the scene by an experimenter for each experimental group but not for each control group. It was found that for preschool children memory of the experimental group exceeded that of the control group, though for adults memory of the control group exceeded that of the experimental one. These results suggest that preschool children might not exchange the information of scenes to proposition as effectively as adults.
