Training Mothers in Elaborative Reminiscing Enhances Children’s Autobiographical Memory and Narrative

Abstract: This longitudinal intervention assessed children's memory at 2(1/2) years (short-term posttest; N=115) and their memory and narrative at 3(1/2) years (long-term posttest; N=100) as a function of maternal training in elaborative reminiscing when children were 1(1/2) to 2(1/2) years. At both posttests, trained mothers were more elaborative in their reminiscing than untrained mothers. At the long-term posttest, trained mothers were also more repetitive than untrained mothers. Children of trained mothers provided … Show more

“…Thus, sociocultural theory could inform, for example, why specific ways of mother-child dialog are later reflected in the ways that children structure their personal memories (Haden et al, 1997;Reese, Leyva et al, 2010;Reese & Newcombe, 2007) and also on the ability to remember events (Boland, Haden, & Ornstein, 2003).…”

“…Reese and Newcombe (2007) claim that reminiscing may have such a strong relationship with memory outcomes because a coherent narrative is encoded and retained better than isolated comments during the event itself. Taumoepeau and Reese (2013) theorize that because "talk about the past focuses solely on communication about mental states (i.e., memories), it is a potentially powerful conversational tool for informing children's growing understanding of mind" (p. 389).…”

“…It is interesting that the training in most of the parent-child intervention studies is relatively basic and easy to deliver yet still delivers positive effects on child outcomes. For example, as discussed in "Parent-child Reminiscing" section, Reese and Newcombe (2007) asked parents to regularly discuss past events and gave out an instruction sheet, which led to improved narrative and memory skills in children from the intervention group. Research into educator elaborative style and child outcomes in early childhood settings is needed to inform the specifics of such training programs and give a clearer indication of what kind of impact they may have in the early childhood context.…”
