| For 35 years, the "mobile paradigm" has been a standard research tool for studying the development of associative memory in typically developing infants between 2 and 6 months of age. These findings were coherent in neuropsychologic terms: The most impaired functions were those involved in information selection (selective attention) and information processing (working memory) as well as associative memory, verbal fluency, and abstraction. Associative memory would link, for example, Rome with Italy or swallows with Capistrano. |
