Your friends have a 3-month-old son, Zack. Two weeks ago, when Zack was at your house he had been interested in kicking at a ball that makes noise when it rolls
Yesterday when Zack was at your house, he kicked at the ball again as if he remembered moving the ball and hearing its noise. When you pointed out this "memory" to Zack's parents, they said that "everyone knows that babies don't have any memories." What can you tell your friends about memory in infants that might change their minds?
What will be an ideal response?
A good answer will be similar to the following:
Tell your friends that young babies remember events for days or weeks at a time. Carolyn Rovee-Collier connected 2- and 3-month-old's legs to a crib mobile using a ribbon. The infants quickly learned to kick their legs to make the mobile move. Even after a few weeks had passed, infants remembered that kicking moves the mobile. Based on the results of this research, it is quite likely that Zack does remember kicking at the ball at your house and your friends are wrong about his memory ability.
