Development of spatial memory consolidation: A comparison between children and adults
Successful navigation to spatial locations relies on lasting memories from previous experiences. Spatial navigation undergoes profound maturational changes during childhood. It is unclear how well children can consolidate navigation-based spatial memories and if age-related variations in navigation during training predict spatial memory. The present study examined the immediate and long-delay (after a 2-week period) consolidation of navigation-ba…
The impact of mnemonic prediction errors on episodic memory: A lifespan study
Memory-derived predictions help us to anticipate incoming sensory evidence. A mismatch between prediction and evidence leads to a prediction error (PE). Previous research suggested that PEs enhance memory of the surprising events. Here, we systematically investigated the effect of PE on episodic memory in children (10-12 years old), younger adults (18-30 years old), and older adults (66-70 years old). Participants learned visual object pairs over…
Deficits in memory metacognitive efficiency in late adulthood are related to distinct brain profile
The tendency of falsely remembering events that did not happen in the past increases with age.This is particularly evident in cases in which features presented at study are re-presented at test in a recombined constellation (termed rearranged pairs).Interestingly, older adults also express high confidence in such false memories, a tendency that may indicate reduced metacognitive efficiency.Within an existing cohort study, we aimed at investigatin…
Short- and long-delay consolidation of memory accessibility and precision across childhood and young adulthood
Childhood is a period when memory consolidation and knowledge base undergo rapid changes. The present study examined short-delay (overnight) and long-delay (after a 2-week period) consolidation of new information either congruent or incongruent with prior knowledge in typically developing 6- to 8-year-old children ( n = 32), 9- to 11-year-old children ( n = 33), and 18- to 30-year-old young adults (YA; n = 39). Both memory accessibility (cued rec…
A boon and a bane: Comparing the effects of prior knowledge on memory across the lifespan
We tested 6- to 7-year-olds, 18- to 22-year-olds, and 67- to 74-year-olds on an associative memory task that consisted of knowledge-congruent and knowledge-incongruent object-scene pairs that were highly familiar to all age groups. We compared the 3 age groups on their memory congruency effect (i.e., better memory for knowledge-congruent associations) and on a schema bias score, which measures participants' tendency to commit knowledge-congruent …
Income gains predict cognitive functioning longitudinally throughout later childhood in poor children
Alleviating disadvantage in low-income environments predicts higher cognitive abilities during early childhood. It is less established whether family income continues to predict cognitive growth in later childhood or whether there may even be bidirectional dynamics. Notably, living in poverty may moderate income-cognition dynamics. In this study, we investigated longitudinal dynamics over 7 waves of data collection from 1,168 children between the…
Differences in binding and monitoring mechanisms contribute to lifespan age differences in false memory
Based on a 2-component framework of episodic memory development across the lifespan (Shing & Lindenberger, 2011), we examined the contribution of memory-related binding and monitoring processes to false memory susceptibility in childhood and old age. We administered a repeated continuous recognition task to children (N = 20, 10-12 years), younger adults (N = 20, 20-27 years), and older adults (N = 21, 68-76 years). Participants saw the same set o…
Children's Nurturance and Self‐Determination Rights: A Cross‐Cultural Perspective
Increasing awareness of children's developmental needs and rights has led to a global move toward giving children and adolescents a greater degree of autonomy in the decisions affecting their own lives. This article presents two studies examining the role of culture and religion in 12‐year‐old children's perceptions of their rights across three cultures. The first study showed that U.S. and Swiss children advocated for more self‐determination rig…
