Which of the following has NOT been offered as an explanation for infantile amnesia?
A) Infants' original early memories are encoded as physical actions, and these action
memories are highly resistant to reconstruction efforts later in life.
B) Infants have not yet developed a stable sense of self and therefore information in their
early memories is likely to be disorganized and difficult to retrieve in later life.
C) The manner in which infants encode memories may not match the manner in which they
are asked to retrieve the memories when they are older.
D) The degree of frontal lobe development in infancy may make it possible for infants to
remember actions, but not be able to describe these memories using words in later life.
