Effects of Drawing on Children's Item Recall.
Davison, Laura E.; Thomas, Glyn V.
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v78 n2 p155-77 Feb 2001
Investigated in four experiments claims that young children's event recall can be facilitated by drawing. Found that object recall was enhanced by replacing objects on a board as they were recalled. Recall was reduced in 5- to 6-year-olds and not enhanced in older children by drawing the board and objects concurrently with or just prior to verbal recall. (Author/KB)
