Most life experiences are not truly unique: People tend to experience the same types of events repeatedly, with minor variations (e.g., going to work, visiting the doctor). When children experience several similar versions of an event, the task of accurately remembering which particular occurrence involved which details (e.g., what colour of tie was worn on Tuesday versus Friday) is cognitively challenging. From decades of research on children's memory for repeated events, we know that reports of repeated experiences differ from reports of unique experiences. We also know that with sufficiently supportive retrieval cues, accessing details from particular occurrences is possible. However, little research has been conducted that has addressed the precise nature of these "sufficiently supportive cues". In this work, I will explore various techniques that will assist in retrieval of memory for occurrences of repeated events.

大多数生活经历并不是真正独特的：人们倾向于重复经历相同类型的事件，只有微小的变化（例如，去上班，去看医生）。当孩子们经历一个事件的几个相似版本时，准确记住哪个特定事件涉及哪些细节（例如，周二和周五系什么颜色的领带）的任务在认知上是具有挑战性的。从几十年来对儿童对重复事件的记忆的研究中，我们知道，重复经历的报告与独特经历的报告是不同的。我们还知道，有了足够的支持性检索线索，从特定事件中获取细节是可能的。然而，很少有研究解决了这些“足够支持的线索”的确切性质。在这项工作中，我将探索各种技术，这些技术将有助于检索重复事件发生的记忆。
