“…Research on the use of memory strategies suggests that children in the age-range of the children in our study (7 to 8 years) can use strategies to help retrieve information, but often need specific instruction to do so effectively. That is, they may not spontaneously use a new strategy (Kobasigawa, 1974(Kobasigawa, , 1977Paris et al, 1982;Ritter, 1978;Ritter et al, 1973;Whittaker et al, 1985) as in the free-recall section of the interview.…”

The current study examined first, whether the positive effects demonstrated by the Narrative Elaboration Technique (NET) could be further enhanced when coupled with mental reinstatement of context (MR), prior to interview, and second, compared the efficacy of the NET at a two-week delay and a nine-month delay. In Study 1, 47 children took part as a class in a staged event about safety. Two weeks later they received a single training session, and the following day were interviewed with either the NET (n ¼ 16), NET þ MR (n ¼ 17), or in a control condition (n ¼ 14). Children trained with the NET reported approximately twice as much correct information, and were more accurate, than a control group who did not receive NET training, although the combination of the NET þ MR did not result in a further significant enhancement of recall. In Study 2, 22 children took part in the safety event, and nine months later received a single training session, and were interviewed the following day with either the NET (n ¼ 11), or in a control condition (n ¼ 11). Children who received the NET training reported more correct information than those who did not. The practical applications of the NET and its variations are discussed.

“…In tasks in which notations serve to locate an object unambiguously (Beal, 1985;Fabricius & Wellman, 1983;Ritter, 1978), preschool children have difficulty in producing or using notations. In this case, the notations cannot be complex since they have to transmit the location of the hidden object clearly.…”

“…In this case, the notations cannot be complex since they have to transmit the location of the hidden object clearly. In Ritter's (1978) and Beal's (1985) tasks children are required to mark the container in which an object is hidden, taking into account that the position of the containers will change. If they do not mark the containers properly, therefore, they will not be able to identify them.…”

“…Others have produced data generally confuming the pattem of outcomes reported by Ritter (1978). For instance, Beal and Fleisig (1987) reported that prescboolers needed several prompts before they would use retrieval cues in search tasks structurally identical to the task studied by Ritter.…”

“…It is quite another for children to prepare for retrieval themselves. Ritter (1978) conducted a now dassie study that is relevant to this point. The task was to prepare to fmd a piece of candy hidden in one cup on a turntable containing six cups.…”
