Presented paired-comparison familiarization-novelty recognition task to 4-month-olds. Found that peak look duration during pretest and familiarization periods predicted recognition performance. Recognition was unaffected by choice-trial length. Longer gaze durations during pretest and familiarization were associated with more time in heart rate-defined sustained attention and attention termination (AT). Only individual differences in AT accounted for significant variance in recognition memory. (Author/KB)
