Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The task described in the question is a study of memory development in infants. Infants who kicked and made the mobile move were found to develop the ability to remember the event for several weeks, indicating that they have some memory capacity. Option A is incorrect because memory development in infants is not stable but rather a dynamic process that changes over time. Option B is incorrect because research has shown that infants have some basic memory capacity. Option C is incorrect because researchers have found that infants as young as two months can associate their own movements with the movement of objects in their environment.
