Memory enhancement in early childhood
C. Liston, J. Kagan
In emphasizing references pertaining to brain maturation rather than to behavioural development, our brief list implied that this study was the first to demonstrate the emergence of long-term memory for events in infants. On the contrary, a large body of work published by P. Bauer, among many others, addresses this issue exactly and also forms the basis of the methodology developed for our study. Our contribution was to assess retention in children at three different ages after a four-month delay in order to test the a priori prediction, based on earlier studies of brain maturation, that nine-month-olds would be compromised relative to children in their second year. More extensive citation of work in this area was not possible because of the limited number of references permitted.
