Bauer, Patricia J.

American Psychologist, v51 n1 p29-41 Jan 1996

Reviews research that demonstrates that children in the one- to two-year age range are able to remember specific events over weeks and months. Recall is influenced by what young children are asked to remember, the number of times they experience events, and the availability of cues or reminders. (SLD)
