ABSTRACT
The purpose of the current experimental study was to investigate effects of presence
of others on children‟s simple and complex memory task performances among
primary school pupils in Tanzania. The Study hypothesized that he individual pupil
would perform significantly better on simple memory tasks in alone setting than in
the presence of others. Then boys would perform significantly better on simple
memory tasks than girls in alone settings as well as in the presence of others. Last
hypothesis was that girls would perform significantly better on complex memory
tasks than boys in alone setting as well as in the presence of others. The Study
employed Within Participants Repeated Measures Experimental Design for data
collection. The data were analyzed using independent t-test and paired t-test. It was
observed that on simple memory tasks , the pupils performances were significantly
higher when the tasks were done in the presence of others as compared to situations
where tasks were done in alone setting (p=0.00150.05). Generally the study revealed that under similar
environments, the girls performed better on simple and complex memory tasks as
compared to their boy‟s counterparts but there was no statistically significantly
differences between them. The study recommended that in order to promote memory
among pupils, teachers‟ activities should design teaching and learning in social
settings. Besides further research should be conducted in order to confirm or
disconfirm the findings of the current study.
