非特异性视觉特征提示对儿童错误记忆的影响

Nonspecific Visual Feature As the Cue Have Negative developmental Effects on Children's False Memory

实验采用DRM研究范式,探讨非特异性视觉特征对8岁、10岁和12岁儿童错误记忆的影响及其随年龄增长而产生的变化。实验结果说明:(1)8-12岁儿童错误记忆随着年龄的增长而增长,这可能是由于儿童随年龄增长不断地发展其形成要义痕迹表征和要义连接的形成能力所致。(2)非特异性视觉特征提示对8岁,10岁儿童错误记忆不产生显著影响,对12岁儿童影响显著,这种影响从10岁至12岁呈显著性增长。

This research examined if location as a nonspecific visual feature had a negative effect on children＇s false memory. 72 children, 8-, 10-, and 12-year-old, took part in the experiment, in which the D-R-M paradigm was used. The results showed that （1） the false alarm rates of critical lures were significantly increasing from the age of 8 to 12. （2） Nonspecific visual features had a negative effect on children＇s false memory but no significant effect on 8-year-olds, and the negative effects on 10- and 12-years-olds＇ false memory were significantly different.
