The results from sensory-preconditioning (SPC), potentiation, paired-comparison, and associative-chain experiments show that ________.
A) young infants cannot form detailed memories spontaneously and that these memories cannot be maintained for long periods of time-these results can be reconciled with the neuroanatomical model
B) young infants form detailed memories spontaneously and that these memories can be maintained for long periods of time-these results cannot be reconciled with the neuroanatomical model
C) young infants form detailed memories but these are rapidly forgotten
D) young infants form inaccurate memories but these memories can be maintained for long periods of time

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The results from these types of experiments indicate that young infants are capable of forming detailed memories spontaneously and that these memories can be maintained for long periods of time. This finding challenges the neuroanatomical model, which might suggest limitations on such capabilities due to the ongoing development of the brain in infancy.
