Children's Memory of an Occurrence of a Repeated Event: Effects of Age, Repetition, and Retention Interval across Three Question Types.
Powell, Martine B.; Thomson, Donald M.
Child Development, v67 n5 p1988-2004 Oct 1996
Examined the effects of age, repetition, and retention interval on children's memory of the final occurrence of a repeated event. Found that repetition increased the number of items recalled, and that younger children showed a poorer ability to discriminate between the occurrences than the older children, though age differences were less evident at the longer retention interval.
