Habituation Is Not Enough: Novelty Preferences, Search, and Memory in Infancy.

Sophian, Catherine

Merrill-Palmer Quarterly, v26 n3 p239-58 Jul 1980

Critically evaluates habituation and related models for studying infant memory, focusing on methodological and substantive limitations which restrict the derivation of information from them. The essay considers existing research on the development of object permanence as an alternative source of information about infant memory. (Author/DB)
