Infant memory for object motion across a period of three months: implications for a four-phase attention function

Article Abstract:

Memory of object motion was retained by 3-month-old infants across intervals of 1 and 3 months. An interaction was also found between retention time and novelty and familiarity preferences. Preference for the novel motion was significant at the 1-min delay, while familiar motion was significantly preferred at the 1-month delay, and no preferences were significant at the intermediate retention intervals. A significant familiarity preference was also recorded when memory was assessed after three months. Results suggest a four-phase relation between retention times and visual preferences.

Intersensory redundancy facilitates learning of arbitrary relations between vowel sounds and objects in seven-month-old infants

Article Abstract:

Research was conducted to examine the influence of intersensory redundancy on the ability of infants to relate vowel sounds with objects. Video films showing vowel-object pairs under varying conditions were shown to 48 subjects. Results show that vowel-pairs were not detected in moving-asynchronous condition but not in moving synchronous condition. This indicates that learning is facilitated by object motion and temporal synchrony between vocalizations.

Increasing specificity in perceptual development: infants' detection of nested levels of multimodal stimulation

Article Abstract:

This article examines the development of perceptual sensitivity in infants. Findings indicate that infants can detect changes in the synchrony of an object striking a surface by four weeks of age and that they become sensitive to differences in the composition of the striking object by seven weeks of age.
