MEDIATED MEMORY: EXPLORATORY RESEARCH ON DEVELOPMENT POSSIBILITIES IN PRESCHOOL CHILDREN

ABSTRACT

This article presents results of exploratory research aimed at identifying ways in which pre-school children can learn to use semiotic elements to improve their mediated memory. The method used was a card game, planned especially for the research and carried out with 6 groups of 3 children (18 participants) aged between 5 and 6 years old, belonging to a kindergarten class at a municipal school. The results allowed us to reflect on the appropriation of memory mediation strategies in human development. These results are contrasted with the stages of constitution of mediated memory presented by L. S. Vigotski and collaborators, highlighting the importance of the mediation of the researcher and peers, and their effects on the displacement between the levels of memory. It is expected that the study will allow the advancement of research on the topic and contribute to support powerful pedagogical practices for the development of higher psychic functions.
