Abstract
There
is
little
research
regarding
the
amount
of
information
that
three-year-old
children
can
retain
and the
length
of
time
that they
can
retain
it.
In a
task
in
which
three-year-olds
retained
the
locations
of
hidden
objects
,
subjects
were
given
a
reactivation
treatment
to
determine
if the
reminder
would
facilitate
recall.
An
additional
question
was
whether
having
input
into
where
objects
were
hidden
would
facilitate
recall.
Ninety
children
learned
the
location
of
16
objects
hidden
in a
room.
One-half
of the
children
determined
which
object
to
hide
in
each
of the
pre-selected
locations
(self-generated
condition)
, and the
experimenter
determined
which
object
to
hide
at
each
location
for the
remaining
children
(experimenter-generated
condition).
For
both
the
self-
and
experimenter-generated
conditions
,
one-third
of the
children
were
visited
three
weeks
after
acquisition
at
which
time
they
saw
the
16
objects
(reactivation
treatment).
Another
one-third
were
returned
to the
experimental
room
but
did
not
see
the
objects
(partial-reactivation
treatment).
The
remaining
one-third
of the
children
were
visited
again
only
at
final
testing
(control
treatment).
All
subjects
were
tested
for
recall
of the
16
object-location
pairings
4
weeks
after
initial
learning.
Results
showed
no
significant
differences
due
to
reactivation
or
generation
conditions.
