Abstract
The way in which infants remember the hue of a stimulus over time was assessed by testing 32 infants (mean age = 19.6 weeks) in a “paired comparisons” procedure. The infants were familiarised to one hue and then presented either immediately or after a 5‐min delay with two tests on which the familiar hue was paired with a novel hue either from the same category or a new category. The infants in both delay groups showed a significant preference for the latter whereas only those in the immediate‐test group showed a significant preference for the former. The results suggest that infants are capable of remembering more than the general category of a hue but after a delay may only remember hue in these terms.This publication has 14 references indexed in Scilit:
