Infants' delayed recognition memory for colour and form

Abstract

Delayed recognition memory was investigated in 5- and 9-week-old infants after extensive familiarization to a visual stimulus. Both age groups were found to demonstrate memory for colour and form information after a 24 hour delay. In addition the location of testing, relative to the location of familiarization, was found to influence the apparent strength of memory, while there was no effect of sex nor evidence of additivity of stimulus dimensions.
