Contextual Variation and Memory Retrieval at Six Months.
Amabile, Toni Ann; Rovee-Collier, Carolyn
Child Development, v62 n5 p1155-66 Oct 1991
In 1 experiment, infants' ability to retain a memory for 24 hours was disrupted when infants were trained in 1 situational context and tested in another but not when they were trained in multiple contexts. In a second experiment, training in multiple contexts did not facilitate memory retrieval in a novel context after a long delay. (BC)
