Description: This book brings together some of the most exciting new research on infant memory. Using innovative research designs, the five studies presented here are addressing questions of central importance to understanding the development of human memory. In particular, the studies seek to discover whether, and if so under what conditions, memories of events experienced during infancy are retained over the preschool years.
Notes: "This book is also a special issue of the journal Memory which forms issue 4 of volume 2 (1994). The page numbers used here are taken from the journal and so begin on p. 337
