Dissociation between features and feature relations in infant memory: Effects of memory load

Article Abstract:

Experiments to examine the effects of the number of features and feature relations on learning and memory in infants were undertaken. It was concluded that there is selective constraint on infant long-term memory for relational information, suggesting that features and relations are psychologically distinct in infancy, as in adulthood. Also that the organization of perceptual processing is paralleled by memory organization.
