In early childhood, children's memory is mainly unconscious memory. Everything they are interested in, vivid and intense, is easy to remember. On the contrary, it may not be effective to let them remember purposefully. With the growth of age and the influence of education, children's conscious memory and recall ability gradually developed in their later childhood. Conscious memory is usually passive at first, and only after adults give goals can children actively confirm and remember.
Extended data:
Childhood memories may be false memories. Emotion, causality and implicit memory can all cause false memory. When people are influenced by emotions, especially strong emotions, they will pay special attention to certain things. At this time, our attention is narrowed, the details of interest are particularly clear, and other important details will be "ignored". In this way, inadvertently will cause the illusion of memory.
When people see incoherent things, they will unconsciously combine the fragments they see into a very logical picture, which is attribution, which will also lead to the distortion of memory. In addition, memory errors are related to implicit memory.
Implicit memory is an automatic memory phenomenon without conscious memory. People don't know that they have this kind of memory, but they will show it in the operation of specific tasks. Research shows that people's memory of social information is more implicit than that of non-social information.
