Abstract

The study of children’s prospective memory has gained new momentum over the past 20 years and is now an active area of research in cognitive development. Yet, this resurgence has been accompanied by significant challenges that offer important lessons and insights for other areas of developmental science. In this article, I provide an overview and theoretical accounts of the development of children’s prospective memory. I then describe three puzzling findings that remain unresolved in children’s development of this kind of memory: (1) the contradictory effects of delay length on prospective memory performance, (2) why reminders sometimes fail to improve prospective memory performance, and (3) why parent reports and behavioral measures of prospective memory might fail to correlate. I discuss how each challenge can be applied broadly to other areas of children’s development. I conclude by highlighting challenges and opportunities as the field moves forward.

儿童前瞻记忆的发展:发展科学的教训
儿童前瞻记忆的研究在过去的20年里获得了新的发展势头,目前是认知发展研究的一个活跃领域。然而,这种复苏伴随着重大挑战,为发展科学的其他领域提供了重要的经验教训和见解。在这篇文章中,我对儿童前瞻记忆的发展提供了概述和理论说明。然后,我描述了在儿童这种记忆的发展中仍未解决的三个令人困惑的发现:(1)延迟长度对前瞻记忆表现的矛盾影响;(2)为什么提醒有时不能改善前瞻记忆表现;(3)为什么家长报告和前瞻记忆的行为测量可能不相关。我讨论了如何将每个挑战广泛应用于儿童发展的其他领域。最后,我强调了该领域向前发展的挑战和机遇。

期刊介绍: Child Development Perspectives" mission is to provide accessible, synthetic reports that summarize emerging trends or conclusions within various domains of developmental research, and to encourage multidisciplinary and international dialogue on a variety of topics in the developmental sciences. Articles in the journal will include reviews, commentary, and groups of papers on a targeted issue. Manuscripts presenting new empirical data are not appropriate for this journal. Articles will be obtained through two sources: author-initiated submissions and invited articles or commentary. Potential contributors who have ideas about a set of three or four papers written from very different perspectives may contact the editor with their ideas for feedback.
