Out of Sight, Out of Mind

Synopsis: Examines the beginnings of memory in the young child. An example of a sophisticated adult memory at work, using an extract from Marcel Proust’s ‘A La recherche du Temps Perdu’. Focuses on several young children as they are presented with tasks which show whether they understand the permanence of an object. Filmed at Dundee University. Dr Willatts explains the experiments shown and relates the work of the Swiss psychologist Jean Piaget to the general state of knowledge about children’s thinking today.
