Event-Related Potential and Looking-Time Analysis of Infants' Responses to Familiar and Novel Events: Implications for Visual Recognition Memory.
Nelson, Charles A.; Collins, Paul F.
Developmental Psychology, v27 n1 p50-58 Jan 1991
Used event-related potentials (ERPs) and fixation duration to examine infants' responses to events. Found that ERPs, but not looking time, distinguished between familiar events presented frequently rather than infrequently, and between familiar and novel events presented infrequently. Proposed that ERPs reflected updating of working memory or stimulus encoding. (BC)
