The relationship between deferred imitation, associative memory and communication in 14-month-old children. Behavioral and electrophysiological indices

Nordqvist, Emelie ; Rudner, Mary ; Johansson, Mikael LU orcid ; Lindgren, Magnus LU and Heimann, Mikael (2015) In Frontiers in Psychology 6.
Abstract
Abstract in Undetermined
The present study combines behavioral observations of memory (deferred imitation, DI, after a brief delay of 30 min and after a long delay of 2-3 weeks) and electrophysiological (event-related potentials, ERPs) measures of associative memory, as well as parental reports of non-verbal and verbal communication in sixteen 14-months-old children. Results show that for DI, the children remembered the stimulus after the brief but not after the long delay. There was a clear electrophysiological response indicating associative memory. Furthermore, a correlation between DI and ERP suggests that both measures of memory (DI and associative memory) tap into similar mechanisms in 14-months-old children. There was also a... (More)

There was also a statistically significant relation between parental report of receptive (verbal) language and the ERP, showing an association between receptive language skills and associative memory.
