Can a child's recollection of threatening material be examined separately from the caregiving behavior researchers observed?
The two-wave design places observed care before a later assessment of memory for emotional material.
Who was studied?
Preschool children and their caregivers studied for sensitivity and subsequent memory biases
Age / stage: Preschool years
Read with three questions
- Can a child's recollection of threatening material be examined separately from the caregiving behavior researchers observed?
- What was measured at each observation, and what other influences might account for the link?
- Which features of the study population (preschool children and their caregivers studied for sensitivity and subsequent memory biases) would matter when applying the findings in another setting?
Keep the limits in view
The two-wave analysis included 49 preschoolers. Memory for material in an experimental task is narrower than memory for everyday family interactions.
