This project serves a pre registration of study 3 in "Age cues and earliest memories" (https://osf.io/h4nj6/). At the time of preregistering, we were unfamiliar with the OSF "registrations" option. (added on August 25, 2020) Original summary: Wessel, Schweig and Huntjens (2019, study 1) studied how information about age in experimental instructions influences reports of the average age in earliest memories. Participants read one of two examples of earliest memories (anchored with 1/2 or 5/6 years) and then recalled their own earliest childhood memory. The results showed that the early vignette rendered earlier age estimates than the late condition. Further, snapshots seemed to be of a younger age than event memories and also less sensitive to the age manipulation. The current study aims at replicating the main findings following Wessel et al.’s (2019, study 1) method, with some changes. These include conducting the study in the lab rather than online and adding a no-age control condition. **Reference** Wessel, I., Schweig, T., & Huntjens, R. J. C. (2019).
