Description
Kindergarten, second, and fifth graders were given 15 self-adhesive
line drawings to affix on either (1) a simple scene,
(2) a scrambled scene, (3) a blank sheet of paper, or (4) a
sheet of paper divided into 15 squares. Recall of the objects
was tested immediately and again after one week. In general,
immediate recall was greater in the simple-scene condition
than in all others for all grades tested. Recall in the
scrambled condition was also greater than in the other two
conditions for second and fifth graders, but not for the
kindergarten children. The sheet divided into squares and
the blank sheet conditions did not differ from each other at
any time. The results for delayed recall were similar in that
the condition with the simple scene yielded performance superior
to all others. However, the scrambled condition no
longer differed from the other two conditions. The results
suggest the importance of assessing children's memory for information
in conditions or backgrounds which approximate those
found in the real world, and of the use of schematic or episodic
organization by young children.
