Document Summary
3-6 months: evidence or emergence of ltm. Evidence of ltm in infancy: procedural memory. Limitations to recall: short duration, highly context specific. Imitation after delay signals the ability to missed slide. Recall, tested via imitations, increases with age. 6 weeks, reproduce adult facial expressions hours later. 12 months: reproduce a complex sequences after 1 week. 24 months: reproduce the same sequence after 90 days. Younger infants need more observations, shorter delay, more specific retrieval cues. Adults don"t remember life before 3 to 4 years of age. Understanding of self may play a role. Turns out there is evidence to support both. Verbal and nonverbal recall after 6 to 12 months delay. All children recalled the event in some way. No verbal recall if not part of vocal at the time of encoding. But can perform non verbal actions for these things. Pre verbal memories not translated verbally: language skills needed at time of encoding.
