Construction and Regeneration of Logical Sequences Using Causes or Consequences as the Point of Departure
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Brown, Ann L.; French, Lucia A. – Child Development, 1976
Two studies (1) compared the ability of pre- and post-operational children to seriate sets of 4 temporal sequences presented simultaneously and (2) examined the ability to recall sequences when given the initial, middle, or terminal item as a retrieval cue. (SB)

Children's Comparison of the Recency of Two Events from the Past Year.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Friedman, William J.; And Others – Child Development, 1995
Examined developmental changes in the use of distance-based and calendar-based approaches to estimate the recency of two events. Found that children's ability to discriminate temporal relationships between two events appears by four to five years of age. In contrast, use of calendar information and cognizance of annual patterns was found only in…
