Taped to the Lunchbox

Cue Placement and the Age Gradient in Children's Everyday Prospective Memory

A research poster from the School of Emergent Priorities follows 286 primary-school children in Years 1–6, each carrying one school note home in the schoolbag and one taped to the lunchbox lid, and finds that same-evening handover from the bag rises from 31% to 72% across the year levels while handover from the lid holds at 64–79%, with backward digit span predicting handover only from the bag.
