Long-Term Memory for Context-Specific Category Information at Six Months.
Shields, Pamela J.; Rovee-Collier, Carolyn
Child Development, v63 n2 p245-59 Apr 1992

Findings revealed that at six months, information about the place where categories are constructed is prerequisite for retrieval of a category concept from long-term memory. (GLR)
