“…Most relevant to the current study are a number of experiments demonstrating that changes in perspective that occur after encoding can influence later recall (e.g., R. C. Anderson & Pichert, 1978; R. C. Anderson, Pichert, & Shirey, 1983;Borland, Flammer, & Wearing, 1987;Tversky & Marsh, 2000). For example, in their classic research using perspective shift manipulations, Anderson and colleagues (R. C. Anderson & Pichert, 1978; R. C. Anderson et al, 1983) asked adults to read a story describing the contents of a house from the perspective of either a burglar or a homebuyer.…”

Children's abilities to reframe their memories of events after hearing another child's perspective of the same events were examined, and links between memory reframing, cognitive ability, and social competence were explored. Nine- to 11-year-olds (N = 79) were told to imagine that the events in a narrated story happened to them. Next, they heard another story that described either the same events (experimental condition) or unrelated events (control condition) from another child's perspective. The children in the experimental group reframed their memories in light of the alternative perspective, whereas the children in the control condition did not. Children with higher cognitive scores had higher memory reframing scores and received higher social competence ratings than children with lower cognitive scores.

“…How a reader's goal or perspective influences text processing has attracted a lot of interest in reading research since the seminal study byAnderson and Pichert in 1978(e.g., Anderson, 1982; Anderson, Pichert, & Shirey, 1983; Baillet & Keenan, 1986; Borland & Flammer, 1985; Borland, Flammer, & Wearing, 1987; Flammer & Tauber, 1982; Goetz, Schallert, Reynolds, & Radin, 1983; Grabe, 1979, 1981; Kaakinen, Hyönä, & Keenan, 2001, 2002; Kardash, Royer, & Greene, 1988; Rothkopf & Billington, 1979). Anderson and Pichert (1978) asked their participants to read a text describing three houses from either a burglar's or a homebuyer's perspective and to recall the text after reading.…”

This study examined how prior knowledge and working memory capacity (WMC) influence the effect of a reading perspective on online text processing. In Experiment 1, 47 participants read and recalled 2 texts of different familiarity from a given perspective while their eye movements were recorded. The participants' WMC was assessed with the reading span test. The results suggest that if the reader has prior knowledge related to text contents and a high WMC, relevant text information can be encoded into memory without extra processing time. In Experiment 2, baseline processing times showed whether readers slow down their processing of relevant information or read faster through their relevant information. The results are discussed in the light of different working memory theories.

“…A considerable amount of research shows that new details or changes in knowledge or attitudes attained after an event occurs can impact how memories are reorganized, recomprehended, and reported (e.g., Gabbert, Memon, & Allan, 2003;Greenhoot, 2000;Ross & Wilson, 2003). A small number of studies have shown that shifting from one perspective to another after the initial encoding has taken place can influence later recall (R. Anderson, Pichert, & Shirey, 1983;Borland, Flammer, & Wearing, 1987;Tversky & Marsh, 2000). Only one study has examined the impact of hearing another person's perspective on children's memory: Tsethlikai and Greenhoot (2006) found that working memory capacity and verbal ability were related to 9-to 11-year-old children's ability to reframe their recall of a series of events involving conflict with a friend after hearing the friend's point of view.…”

The influence of a friend's perspective on American Indian children's recall of previously misconstrued events.

The ability of American Indian children (N = 99; 7-12 years of age) to reframe a memory of a friend's seemingly mean-spirited actions (Story 1) after hearing the friend's perspective detailing her/his good intentions (Story 2) was explored. Children in a control group heard an unrelated Story 2 and did not alter their retelling of Story 1. Good verbal skills facilitated the integration of the friend's perspective in memory for the children who heard the friend's explanation. Higher scores on the working memory and inhibition tasks were associated with higher verbal ability scores. Older children had better working memory and inhibitory skills than younger children. Cultural engagement predicted better social competence ratings but not higher memory reframing scores as predicted.
