The Development of Children's Memory for the Time of Past Events.
Friedman, William J.
Child Development, v62 n1 p139-55 Feb 1991
In this study of the distinction between temporal distance and location, children were asked to judge the relative recency and time of target events that occurred one and seven weeks before testing. All judged recency and localized time of day correctly. Six- and eight- but not four-year olds localized longer time scales. (BC)
