Research Abstract

As a preliminary step before teaching the knowledge of each subject in the elementary school, it may be necessary for training of visual and auditory recent memory. Evaluation and realization of this idea is the vision of my research. In this study, the effect of repeated training of visual and auditory recent memory applied to all grades of elementary school children was investigated. The results suggested that repeated training is more effective for the lower grades of elementary school children.
