Effects of the Similarity and Dissimilarity between Familiarization and Test Objects on Recognition Memory in Infants Following Unimodal and Bimodal Familiarization.

Rolfe, Sharne A.; Day, R. H.

Child Development, v52 n4 p1308-12 Dec 1981

Two experiments were conducted to investigate six-month-old infants' recognition memory for the shape of an object following unimodal (visual) and bimodal (visual and haptic) familiarization. Visual recognition memory was evident only when the conditions of familiarization and testing were identical. Two possible explanations are presented and implications are discussed. (Author/RH)
