Infants' Memory Processing of a Serial List: List Length Effects.
Gulya, Michele; Sweeney, Becky; Rovee-Collier, Carolyn
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v73 n1 p72-91 May 1999
Three experiments demonstrated that increasing the length of a mobile serial list impaired 6-month olds' memory for serial order. Findings indicated that the primacy effect was absent on a 24-hour delayed recognition test and was exhibited on a reactivation test, adding to growing evidence that young infants possess two functionally distinct memory systems.
