Abstract: Figural and numerical materials were used to study the memory and memory organization of gifted children (n = 20, mean age = 11 years and 2 months) and of normal children (n = 20, mean age = 11 years and 3 mo- nths). The results show that (1) the gifted children are superior to the normal children not only in the amount of recall, but also in the speed of remembering and the organization of memory; (2) there are close re- lationships between the memory performance and the organization of me- mory, espacially between the speed of remembering and the memory orga- nization, (3) it is better to use both of the amount of recall and the speed of remembering as the index of memory performance.
