Expectancies and Memory Retrieval in Three-Month-Old Infants.
Fagen, Jeffrey W.; And Others
Child Development, v55 n3 p936-43 Jun 1984
Two experiments investigated the ability of 3-month-olds to acquire generalized expectancies of reward and the role of these expectancies in memory retrieval. In both experiments, infants exhibited positive transfer over invariant and variable stimulus series; however, in the second experiment, violations of either expected order produced a retention deficit.
