✦ Synopsis

This research documents the development of long-term memory in human infants from 2 months through the end of the first year-and-a-half of life. In the initial study phase, we trained 6-to 18-month-old human infants in an operant task and tested them after increasing delays until they exhibited no retention for 2 successive weeks. In the second phase, their data were combined with data previously obtained from 2-to 6-month-olds in an equivalent task. The resulting function revealed that the duration of retention increases monotonically between 2 and 18 months of age. This increase was not due to age differences in original learning. This is the first systematic analysis of the course of long-term memory across an extended period of infant development that is based on standardized parameters of training and testing. It provides a reference function against which measures of retention from infants of different ages that are obtained in different memory tasks with different parameters can be meaningfully compared.

We previously reported that the latency of responding to a memory prime in a reactivation procedure decreases between 3 and 6 months of age. The present study extended this analysis through the first year of life. In this study, 6-, 9-, and 12-month-olds learned an operant task. One week after they

Data on activity states were collected from 29 group-housed capuchin monkey (Cebus apella) infants for 3 h each week from birth to 11 weeks of age. The amounts of time spent in sleeping/drowsy, alert-quiet, and alert-active states were measured in these subjects. Videotaped observations of these inf
