Perseverative Errors in Search by Young Infants

Abstract

HARRIS, P. L. Perseverative Errors in Search by Young Infants. CImLD DEVELOPMENT, 1973, 44, 28-33. 3 experiments are presented which examine the ability of 10-month-old infants to search in a new hiding place. The experiments showed that infants of this age can search correctly, but that errors are more likely if a delay is introduced and if cues previously associated with finding the object distract the infant after its disappearance into a new hiding place. A hypothesis of proactive interference in short-term memory is proposed to explain the above results and other findings reported in the literature.
