Do illustrations enhance preschoolers’ memories for stories? Age-related change in the picture facilitation effect

“…In addition, comparisons between the Verbal Only and Picture Only groups on verbal and pictorial propositions (the only details to which all groups were exposed in some form) showed that children remembered these details better when they were presented verbally than when they were presented visually. This pattern suggests that young children might have difficulty in translating visual information into verbal information (Kee, Bell, & Davis, 1981). Of course, although the illustrations were intended to represent the gist of each story event, it also is possible that children simply did not understand the pictorial representations without the verbal narrative.…”

A Time and Place for Everything: Developmental Differences in the Building Blocks of Episodic Memory

“…Even less is known about how the developmental trajectory of item–item relations compares to that of memory for item–space and item–time relations. Behavioral studies have reported protracted age‐related trajectories in memory for paired associates (e.g., Kee, Bell, & Davis, ), but no comparisons were made with memory requiring binding of items in their spatial and temporal relations. By providing initial evidence for distinct trajectories, this prior research has laid an important foundation for the present work.…”

“…In addition, despite the paucity of research examining the development of item–item binding, we also predicted that this type of relation will result in age differences that will continue into adulthood. This prediction is based on a small set of developmental studies (e.g., Kee et al., ) and on the fact that adults show lower performance on an item–item binding condition as compared to item–space and item–time conditions (Konkel et al., ).…”

The Processing of Information in the Young Consumer: The Impact of Cognitive Developmental Stage on Television, Radio and Print Advertising

“…As 5 such, visual information should be easier for preoperational children to process than auditory information (6,12,16,20,21,25). This finding, however, is not consistent (1,4,5,9).…”
