The Development of Memory for Ignored Speech.

Saults, John Scott; Cowan, Nelson

Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v63 n1 p239-61 Oct 1996

Examines short-term memory for spoken words ignored at the time of their presentation. Age differences in the persistence of memory was found. Suggests that relatively attention-free properties of short-term memory may change with development in childhood, and priority should be given to distinguish maturational and experiential influences on memory of ignored speech.
