Discriminating between action memories: Children's use of kinesthetic cues and visible consequences

摘要: The present experiments examined the sorts of cues that might be available to facilitate children's ability discriminate between memories for their own actions. In Experiment 1, 7 and 10 year olds engaged in two types tracing exercises (using a pencil finger; stylus or pencil). Discrimination performance was better when distinguishing involving use vs. finger than either other cases. 2, children traced imagined pictures using one these three tools. Discriminations varied with type tool involved interacted activity (tracing imagining). These differences discrimination demonstrated importance kinesthetic visible consequences memory discriminations.
