The present study concerns how the acquisition of social information, specifically knowledge about personal characteristics, influences young children's ability to recall and report information. Two forms of social knowledge will be systematically examined, familiarity and stereotypes. Research on stereotypes and generalized event representations in particular suggests that development differences exist in semantic-memory dependence for recollection, with younger children at times being more semantic-memory dependent than are older children. The present study examines this notion in the context of children's memory for a one-time event. One hundred forty eight 4- to 5-year olds will participate. The study will conform to a 2 (age) x 2 (stereotype treatment) x 2 (familiarity treatment) x 2 (interview session) factorial design. Results will have theoretical and applied implications relevant to memory development generally and to child eyewitness memory specifically.

本研究关注社会信息的获取，特别是关于个人特征的知识，如何影响幼儿回忆和报告信息的能力。我们将系统地考察两种形式的社会知识，即熟悉性和刻板印象。对刻板印象和概括性事件表征的研究特别表明，在回忆的语义记忆依赖方面存在发展差异，年龄较小的儿童有时比年龄较大的儿童更依赖语义记忆。本研究在儿童一次性事件记忆的背景下考察了这一概念。148名4至5岁的儿童将参与其中。研究将符合2(年龄)×2(刻板印象治疗)×2(熟悉度治疗)×2(访谈)析因设计。这一结果将对一般的记忆发展，特别是儿童目击者的记忆具有理论和应用上的影响。
