Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A mobile is a common object that hangs above a crib and can be easily moved by an infant's kicking. This is a commonly used method for studying long-term memory in infants, as they can remember the association between their kicking and the movement of the mobile over a significant period of time. Dolls, bells, and teddy bears are not typically used in this type of study.
