The deferred imitation task as a nonverbal measure of declarative memory.
We tested amnesic patients, patients with frontal lobe lesions, and control subjects with the deferred imitation task, a nonverbal test used to demonstrate memory abilities in human infants. On day 1, subjects were given sets of objects to obtain a baseline measure of their spontaneous performance of target actions. Then different event sequences were modeled with the object sets. On day 2, the...
متن کاملExploring Memory in Infancy: Deferred Imitation and the Development of Declarative Memory
Imitation is an important means by which infants learn new behaviours. When infants do not have the opportunity to immediately reproduce observed actions, they may form a memory representation of the event which can guide their behaviour when a similar situation is encountered again. Imitation procedures can, therefore, provide insight into infant memory. The deferred imitation paradigm require...
متن کاملThe visual paired-comparison task as a measure of declarative memory.
Performance on the visual paired-comparison task depends on the integrity of the hippocampal formation in humans, monkeys, and, for an analogous task, in rats. The present study sought additional evidence in healthy volunteers concerning the nature of this task. We found that performance on the visual paired-comparison task was predictive of subsequent recognition memory performance whereas per...
متن کاملDeferred imitation by 6- and 9-month-old infants: more evidence for declarative memory.
Deferred imitation has recently surfaced as a hallmark measure of nonverbal declarative memory. In two experiments, we examined the developmental origins of deferred imitation during early infancy. Six- and 9-month-old human infants observed an experimenter perform specific actions with multiple objects. The infants' ability to reproduce those actions was assessed following a 24-hr delay. With ...
