Very Young Childre's Memory for the Location of Objects in a Large-Scale Environment.
Child Development, v54 n4 p888-97 Aug 1983
Two experiments investigated 18- to 30-month-old children's memory for the location of a hidden object. Memory performance was significantly better when the object was hidden within the natural environment as opposed to when hidden in a set of boxes. Older subjects effectively used a landmark cue as a memory aid. (Author/RH)
