New research from York University suggests that we may be underestimating what kids are capable of when it comes to their memories.

, published in the journal Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications on Wednesday, found that children as young as four compete with adults using a complicated technique known as “temporal clustering” when recalling information.

“We were interested in how many animals children of different ages recalled. We found the expected pattern that older children recalled more animals than younger children. But we were especially interested in the order of their recall. Were children showing temporal clustering? And we found that they were.” York psychology professor and research team lead Thanujeni Pathman said in a news release.
