Experimental designs: control groups are needed to see if experiment works. Reliability: same behaviour seen repeatedly, consistent and predictable results. Used to know what infants are thinking. Ways of measuring development: high amplitude sucking how fast their sucking, preference paradigm which do they prefer, conditioned head turning. Bayley scales of infant development (dsid: mental capacity, motor skills, revised: cognition, language, motor, adaptive, socioemotional.

Contigency/operant learning: operant + contingency, operant = behaviour, contingency = consequences of behaviour. Memory: reactivation = simple reminder, reinstatement = briefly rehearse contingent response.
