Abstract

RODRIGUES, Camila Cruz  and  LUNA, Marianne Silva de. The Impact of Public and Private Education on Children's Memory. Aval. psicol. [online]. 2021, vol.20, n.2, pp. 201-208. ISSN 1677-0471.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15689/ap.2021.2002.20409.08.

This study aimed to compare the performance of working memory and episodic memory in students from public and private schools. A sample consisted of 79 children, aged between 9 and 12 years; divided by gender, age and type of school. The assessment was carried out individually using the CMS and Raven's test. For the data analysis student's t-test was used, the level of significance adopted was 5%. The results showed better performance by the public school children in tasks of intelligence and visual memory, while the students from private schools showed better performance in verbal and visual memory, corroborating studies that highlight differences in cognitive tasks for children with different socioeconomic levels. These results demonstrate the importance of more research in the area, aiming to better understand and improve the cognitive development of Brazilian children and adolescents.

Keywords : memory; socioeconomic level; neuropsychological assessment.
