According to the neuroanatomical model of memory development, the early-maturing system mediates ________ .
A) complex encoding of explicit memories-the model predicts that infants younger than nine months of age will have stable memory traces rich in detail
B) memories of simple learned procedures and perceptual and motor skills but does not allow for complex encoding-the neuroanatomical model predicts that infants younger than nine months of age will have unstable memory traces
C) both memories of simple perceptual and motor skills and of complex explicit encoding
D) both memories of complex perceptual and motor skills and of simple explicit encoding

The early-maturing system, according to the neuroanatomical model of memory development, is responsible for memories of simple learned procedures and perceptual and motor skills. It does not support complex encoding, which is why infants younger than nine months are said to have unstable memory traces for complex information.

According to the Neuroanatomical Model of Memory Development, the Early-Maturing
