G. Misra & A. Shukla
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of experiential deprivation upon serial memory for numbers, words and pictures at four age levels i.e., 4-5, 5-6, 6-7 and 7-8 years. The results indicated significant main effects of age and deprivation. The low deprived children performed significantly better than high deprived children. However, the difference in the age group of 6-7 years age was non-significant. Further, the serial memory was best for numbers, followed by words and pictures, respectively.
