Abstract:The quality of the attachment bond between a child and a caregiver can have lasting effects on how the child perceives, interprets, and recalls events through the filtering of internal working models. Previous research has shown that secure children tend to recall emotional information better than insecure children. The current study examined the association between attachment and children's recall with a sample of 81 children between the ages of 54 and 63 months. Mothers completed the Attachment Q-Set, and the researcher read a storybook with an emotional theme to the children. Children's memory for the storybook details was assessed. Results indicated that, even after controlling for age, more-secure children were better able to recall more details over all. Girls also performed slightly better than boys, although this finding was marginally significant. Overall, the current findings suggest that less-secure children may have defensive processes that prevent them from remembering details from an emotion-laden storybook, which has developmental and educational implications.

儿童回忆故事事件：与依恋和性别的联系

摘要：通过内部工作模型的过滤，孩子与照料者之间依恋纽带的质量可能对孩子如何感知，解释和回忆事件产生持久影响。先前的研究表明，安全的孩子比不安全的孩子更容易回忆情绪信息。本研究通过对81名年龄在54到63个月之间的儿童进行抽样研究，研究了依恋与儿童回忆之间的关系。母亲完成了附件Q设置，研究人员为孩子们读了一本带有情感主题的故事书。评估了儿童对故事书细节的记忆。结果表明，即使在控制了年龄之后，更有安全感的孩子也更容易回忆起所有细节。女孩的表现也比男孩好一点，尽管这一发现意义不大。总体而言，当前的发现表明，安全性较低的孩子可能会采取防御性措施，从而阻止他们记住充满情感的故事书中的细节，这对发展和教育都有影响。
