Abstract

Follow-up interviews with 79 adults and children about 6 months after a visit to Launch Pad, the interactive science centre in London's Science Museum, provide evidence of a long-term impact of the visit. Although most of the memories were episodic rather than semantic in nature, over one-quarter of the exhibit memories elicited showed evidence of respondents having reflected on the encounter, many of them reporting that they had related their experiences to existing knowledge or to programmes they had seen on television.
