Abstract
Children rated the affective meaning of various modeled behaviors and subsequently recalled them after two months and eight months. Short-term retention was significantly greater for positively valenced stimuli, but no difference was found on the long-term measure. Intertrial retention was interpreted as a function of subjective organizational factors.
