TL;DR
This chapter compares the data from these two age periods to show that a life-span perspective can influence the study of memory development by influencing the development of an explanatory model, the selection of specific research methodologies, and the direction of research programs.
Abstract
Although there is no single study of memory development across the entire life-span, from infancy through old age, an extensive research has been carried out on memory in childhood and in old age. This chapter compares the data from these two age periods to show that a life-span perspective can influence the study of memory development by influencing the development of an explanatory model, the selection of specific research methodologies, and the direction of research programs. The research on the two age periods is surveyed separately, is compared, and finally the implications of the comparison are discussed focusing on the field of child development.

It is shown that, by viewing experimentation in a parameter-estimating paradigm instead of a hypothesis-testing paradigm, one can obtain much more information from experiments—information that, combined with contemporary theoretical models of the cognitive processes, has implications for human performance on tasks quite different from those of the original experiments.

651 Citations1970John H. Flavell
This chapter summarizes five developmental studies of mediational and, especially, production deficiencies with respect to children's performance on memory tasks and suggests that developmental intermediaries (production inefficiencies) between nonproduction and efficient production are probably the rule rather than the exception.

This chapter focuses on three main aspects of memory and their ontogenesis:Knowing, which refers to the developing knowledge of the world, or semantic memory, which the child brings to all memorial situations—be they deliberate or involuntary.

This chapter deals with age-related changes found in memory, and the information-processing model suggests critical points in the memorial process where developmental changes occur—initial encoding, acquisition, storage, and retrieval—and where this process may be linked to other important aspects of cognition.

The creation of a model of memory development requires the merging of a memory model and a developmental model that must be derived from a single world view to avoid confusion.

Not only can anthropological film records permit continued reexamination of the past human conditions from which the present was shaped, but they also facilitate an ongoing public and scientific review of the dynamics of the human behavioral and social repertoire in relation to the contemporary conditions which pattern human responses and adaptation.
Child DevelopmentCohort, Age, and Imagery in Children's Paired-Associate Learning
15 Citations1974Hayne W. Reese
There appears to have been a cohort change around November 1969 in the ability of preschoolers to learn paired associates and in the canny use of imposed pictorial elaborations, which presumably reflects the operation of cognitive skills.
