Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research shows that young infants have a strong implicit memory for perceptual-motor actions, such as remembering how to kick their legs to move a mobile. However, their explicit memory, which involves conscious and intentional recall of information, does not emerge until around 6-9 months of age and is limited in capacity. Therefore, options A, C, and D are not true statements about infant memory development.
