Children’s recall of pictorial information

 Field of Application

• This research gives us the idea about the maturity

and psychology of the children of age 3-4. Here we
find the different ways or methods to which are to be
adopted by the teachers and parents. By adopting
these methods they can develop the growth of their
children by the standardize test of reading and
mathematics.
• In this research we adopt some tests, but these tests
give us some responses that we can use for our
results.
• The major point in this article is that how much the
graphical or pictorial information is important.
 Research Question

• How can we check the competence level of the first grade

student through visual effects by adopting some statistical
methods.
 Some difficulties which are faced by the
researcher throughout this process
• All the children have not same competence level and may be
some children who are not clearly understand all this process.
• May be the sample size which we use is not sufficient for our
result.
• There are some chances that the responses from the children are
fully correct and it is possible that some of these responses may
be correct by chance.
 Statistical methods used to solve problem

• Here we use binomial model for analyzing this process.

Because there are two possibilities in this experiment that,
they see these slides earlier or not.
 Binomial distribution

The binomial distribution describes the behavior of a count

variable X if the following conditions apply:

•  The number of observations n is fixed.

• Each observation is independent.
•  Each observation represents one of two outcomes
("success" or "failure").
•  The probability of "success" p is the same for each
outcome.
 How this method works?

• In the pilot study, they showed the slides in a continuous way to 10

nursery school children aged 3 and 4. The main thing is that the
slides are of landscape and other unfamiliar to the children and
there are no human beings in these slides. After first view the slides
are mixed with new 5 slides randomly. Some of these children could
correctly identify as “new” or “old” 9 of the 10 slides. To analyze
these results we use here binomial distribution. In which we have
two outcomes that is success or failure. Getting 9 out of 10 slides
correct is just like getting 9 out of 10 heads in a series of coin
tosses. These results are close to the hindered percent, even
children as young as could be tested for picture recognition were
quite good.
 Conclusion

• By all this discussion we can understand easily the thinking of the

researcher that the pictorial information is more reliable and more
informative for the young children’s. They can understand these
methods easily which are adopted in this process by the researcher.

• The visual information is more important than the listening

techniques. Because the things your eyes catch are more memorize
than the words you hear.
