Metacognitive Development: How Children Estimate Their Memory

Source: Laboratories of Judith Danovitch and Nicholaus Noles—University of Louisville
Human memory is fallible, and people often cannot accurately recall what they have seen or heard. Adults are aware of their limited memory capacity, so they use strategies, such as rehearsal and mnemonic devices, to improve their recall of important information. Because adults understand the limits of memory, they know it makes more sense to write down the items on their shopping list rather than to try...

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Developmental Psychology
  • Parenting Research

Background:

  • Parental reflective functioning (PRF) involves understanding one's own and child's mental states and their behavioral impact.
  • Higher PRF is linked to secure parent-child attachment.
  • The Parent Reflective Functioning Questionnaire (PRFQ-18) offers a brief measure of PRF, assessing prementalizing, parent certainty, and curiosity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the factor structure and psychometric properties of the PRFQ-18.
  • To validate the PRFQ-18 in a Canadian parent sample.

Main Methods:

  • Confirmatory factor analysis of the PRFQ-18 in 306 Canadian parents (120 males, 186 females) with children aged 0-12 years.
  • Assessed discriminant and construct validity using web-based measures of perceived stress, coping, parenting competence, and social support.

Main Results:

  • The confirmatory factor analysis supported the hypothesized 3-factor structure of the PRFQ-18.
  • Results suggest the PRFQ-18 is a potentially useful and practical measure for Canadian adults.
  • Minor revisions could enhance the PRFQ-18's suitability for PRF assessment.

Conclusions:

  • The study provides evidence supporting the construct validity of the PRFQ-18.
  • The PRFQ-18 demonstrates utility as a measure of parental reflective functioning.
