Abstract
In this reflection on "Fuzzy-Trace Theory and Children's False Memories" by Brainerd and Reyna (1998, this issue), I describe aspects of the historical and theoretical context of fuzzy-trace theory and the usefulness of fuzzy-trace theory in organizing false memory phenomena. I also suggest some limitations of fuzzy-trace theory concerning the representation of child intentionality and of social and affective phenomena.

Four areas of experimentation are considered in which research under the aegis of fuzzy-trace theory is in progress: suggestibility and false memories; judgment and decision making; theDevelopment of forgetting; and the development of retrieval.

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.
Developmental ReviewGist is the grist: Fuzzy-trace theory and the new intuitionism
455 Citations1990Charles J. Brainerd, Valerie F. Reyna
Fuzzy-trace theory is a gist-driven interpretation of cognitive development that has descended from, but is distinctly different than, the Piagetian and information-processing traditions.

283 Citations1998Charles J. Brainerd, Valerie F. Reyna
Fuzzy-trace theory's concepts of identity judgment, nonidentity judgment, and similarity judgment provide a unified account of the false-memory phenomena that have been most commonly studied in children: false-recognition effects and misinformation effects.
Psychological ReviewMemory independence and memory interference in cognitive development.
187 Citations1993Charles J. Brainerd, Valerie F. Reyna
Fuzzy-trace theory explains this memory-independence effect on the grounds that reasoning operations do not directly access verbatim traces of critical background information but, rather, process gist that was retrieved and edited in parallel with the encoding of such information.

The results showed induction of an effective retrieval strategy in the situations of maximum retrieval support even by the 7-year olds, and developmental differences occurred in the situation where the retrieval cues provided few hints about the acquisition encoding operation.
