幼児の直後・最終自由再生に及ぼすオフ時間中のリハーサル方略の効果

抄録

The present experiment examined effects of rehearsal strategies during off-time on initial free recall (IFR) and final free recall (FFR) performance in young children (aged three and five). Performance in pictorial memory was found superior to the auditory one in IFR and FFR. The five-year-old children's performance proved superior to the three-year-old in IFR and FFR. There were significant effects of OFF-TIME in IFR and FFR, while significant serial position effect was seen on pictorial and auditory in all age conditions in IFR. Significant between-rehearsal groups difference in final parts of serial position showed in IFR, but not in FFR. Pronounce rehearsal group's performance was superior to association rehearsal and silent rehearsal groups' both in IFR and FFR. Significant primary effects were seen in pictorial and auditory in all rehearsal groups in all age conditions in IFR and FFR, though significant recent effects were noticed in pictorial and auditory in all rehearsal in IFR, except in FFR.
