The relative effects of experiential deprivation, chronological age and nature of stimuli upon the mnemonic competence of children are examined in this paper. Following a 2 X 3 X 2 factorial design experiential deprivation (2), chronological age (3) and nature of stimuli (2) were manipulated. The 120 Ss were used i.e., 10 Ss in each cell. Seperate Ss were taken for visual and verbal conditions and were tested individually. Findings indicated the significant superiority of low deprived and older subjects. Also, the performance under visual recall condition was substantially better than verbal recall. The magnitude of experiential deprivation accentuated with advancing age but the deprivation X task interaction was not significant. Age X task effect revealed that age-related effect was more pronounced in verbal recall condition rather than visual recall condition.
