Developmental Changes in Infants' Retention of Visual Stimuli.

Rose, Susan A.

Child Development, v52 n1 p227-33 Mar 1981

Two studies of visual recognition memory in infants demonstrated 9-month-olds had greater retention ability than 6-month-olds. Six-month-old infants had difficulty recognizing stimuli over short delays, even when distractors were absent. Results are discussed in terms of memory changes possibly occurring at 9 months.
