Discussion

Two studies assess how value influences memory recall and learning strategies in children, suggesting effective self-regulation.

Children aged 6-10 prioritize high-value information when learning, enhancing recall and strategy usage.
Experiment 1 showed children effectively focused on valuable associations, achieving an effect size of 0.36.
In Experiment 2, older children self-regulated their study choices better, with an effect size of 0.75 for value-based learning.
Findings highlight the importance of teaching value-based focus in memory strategies for improved learning outcomes.

McLane et al. (2025) studied this question.
