{ "pk": 26121, "title": "The Role of Similarity in Constructive Memory: Evidence from Tasks with\nChildren and Adults", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "Literature on memory research shows that when memorizing,\npeople may blend two situations, i.e. when memorizing one\nstory, they add elements from another story. Most of the\ncognitive models assume that the superficial similarity\nbetween two episodes is the primary factor for blending.\nHowever, there is evidence that people blend dissimilar\nstories as well, if these stories share the same relational\nstructure. We contrasted the two factors in a single study and\nperformed experiments with the same design and stimuli with\nadults and with 4-5-year-old children. The results show that\nthere is no qualitative difference between the performance of\nadults and children. Also, both adults and children blend\neither pictures that have surface or structural similarity\ndepending on the abstractness of the objects in them.", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "", "short_name": "", "text": null, "url": "" }, "keywords": [ { "word": "constructive memory; development; analogy-making." } ], "section": "Papers", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/2g17f12c", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "Georgi", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Petkov", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "New Bulgarian University", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Margarita", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Pavlova", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "New Bulgarian University", "department": "" } ], "date_submitted": null, "date_accepted": null, "date_published": "2016-01-01T18:00:00Z", "render_galley": null, "galleys": [ { "label": "PDF", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/26121/galley/15757/download/" } ] }
