What will be an ideal response?
Ans: In one study, the mothers of 1- and 2-month-old infants read their babies one of two nursery rhymes over the course of 2 weeks. Infants were then brought into the laboratory, and their preferences for the familiar virus a novel nursery rhyme were tested. This was done by permitting infants to choose hearing either the familiar or a novel nursery rhyme by modifying their sucking on a pacifier. After a 3-day delay between the time infants last heard their mothers read the familiar nursery rhyme and being tested in the lab, even 1-month-old babies showed a preference for the familiar rhyme, indicating memory for the auditory event.
