Quizplus · Accepted Answer

ERP (event-related potentials) is a technique used to study cognitive processes such as memory in infants. It measures the electrical activity of the brain in response to a specific stimulus, such as a visual or auditory cue. In the studies on infants of diabetic mothers, Charles Nelson and his colleagues used ERP to assess memory performance in young infants. Other techniques, such as NIRS, PET, and fMRI, are not commonly used to study memory in infants due to technical limitations and practical considerations.
