Infants Remember
Captions available
The idea
In Rovee-Collier's mobile task, a ribbon links a baby's ankle to a mobile; kicking again after a delay shows the baby remembers.
In practice
Three-month-olds remembering for up to a week, eighteen-month-olds for up to thirteen weeks.
Where people slip
Implicit memory is present in infancy; explicit memory is fragile, one reason for infantile amnesia. Infants do remember.
