Document Summary
Infant: originally seems as not being competent, no memory, no language. When does memory begin: mom and strangers face 1 month, voices 3 days, smell 10 days. Memory in the womb (do babies want to hear the cat in the hat when they were born?) Freidman study: habituation, dishabituation, fatigue vs memory. Kicking baseline: findings: 2 month old infants recall for 3 days, 3 month old infants recall for 13 days. Context effects do infants benefit from encoding specificity . Yes but only if context is not significantly changed 2 fewer items. Stm: 2 year olds a2 item, by 12 no differences. Ltm: recognition no differences, recall. What happens if you encourage children to use strategies: differences are reduced. The cognitive structure that holds an object/experience: assimilation. Process of matching perception against prior knowledge: accommodation. Either modify existing schema or create a new one: equilibration.
