5.40, ps<.021, np2s>.03). Adults [M=.78, CI(.70, .85)] and 8- to 10-year-olds [M=.78, CI(.71, .85)] demonstrated better memory than younger children (ps<.009). Six- to 7-year-olds [M=.61, CI(.55, .68)] also had higher recall than 4- to 5-year-olds [M=.35, CI(.28, .42), p < .001]. Despite these age-related improvements, both children and adults remembered more negative than positive episodes (p=.021, Figure 1) and recalled initial and inconsistent events more than consistent events (ps<.017, Figure 2). Not surprisingly, memory for social interactions improved within childhood. Despite these developmental changes, children and adults exhibited superior recall for negative, initial, and inconsistent events. These data highlight the utility of using implicit measures in social-cognitive reasoning. That is, memory for events provides a window into what participants weight most when learning about people. Thus, it is intriguing that children and adults showed better memory for the same types of behaviors. Children in this study also completed a delayed version of this memory task (approximately 4 days after the initial exposure). Additional analyses will examine whether similar patterns emerge once a longer delay is imposed.
