Attention and Recognition Memory in the 1st Year of Life: A Longitudinal Study of Preterm and Full-Term Infants.

Rose, Susan A.; Feldman, Judith F.; Jankowski, Jeffery J.

Developmental Psychology, v37 n1 p135-51 Jan 2001

Examined visual attention and implications for recognition memory in a longitudinal sample of full-term and preterm infants at 5, 7, and 12 months. Found differences between full-terms and preterms in several aspects of visual attention. Infants showed consistent attentional styles over various conditions. Shorter looks and higher shift rates during familiarization related to better recognition memory. (Author/KB)
