Episodic-like memory (ELM) involves remembering the what, where, and when (WWW) of an event as a whole, and it can be studied behaviorally. In research regarding this type of memory with children, one experiment proposes a new task adapted from animal foraging studies. A task derived from a foraging model was presented its considers the characteristics required for ELM study in children and employs a single trial presented from an egocentric perspective to avoid memory consolidation. One study compared four-year-old children's choices after being trained with one or three trials using a hide-and-seek task. The consequence size and retention interval between training and test were manipulated. Results showed that children chose the optimal outcome after an immediate or delayed test. The children's choices were conditional on the size of the consequences and the time at retrieval according to the Temporal Weighting Rule (Devenport & Devenport, 1994). The results were similar to those of animal studies and were consistent with a foraging memory model. In discussion, the advantages and limitations of the proposed task for the study of ELM in children are described and explained. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2021 APA, all rights reserved).

我们可以从动物觅食模型中研究学龄前儿童的情景记忆吗？

情景式记忆 (ELM) 涉及记住整个事件的内容、地点和时间 (WWW)，并且可以从行为上对其进行研究。在关于儿童这种类型记忆的研究中，一项实验提出了一项改编自动物觅食研究的新任务。提出了一项源自觅食模型的任务，它考虑了儿童 ELM 研究所需的特征，并采用了从以自我为中心的角度提出的单一试验，以避免记忆巩固。一项研究比较了四岁儿童在使用捉迷藏任务接受一到三项试验训练后的选择。操纵了训练和测试之间的结果大小和保留间隔。结果表明，儿童在立即或延迟测试后选择了最佳结果。这些孩子' 根据时间加权规则 (Devenport & Devenport, 1994)，s 的选择取决于结果的大小和检索时间。结果与动物研究的结果相似，并与觅食记忆模型一致。在讨论中，描述和解释了拟议的儿童 ELM 研究任务的优点和局限性。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2021 APA，保留所有权利）。
