Attentional Measures of Memory in Typically Developing and Hypoxic-Ischemic Injured Infants.

摘要: Hypoxic-ischemic injury (HII) at birth has been found to relate differences in development, including decreased memory performance. The current study assessed recognition 6- and 12-month-old HII infants typically developing (TD) using two eye-tracking paradigms well suited explore explicit processes early life: visual paired comparison (VPC) relational (RM). During the VPC, were familiarized a face then tested for their novelty preference immediately after two-minute delay. At 6 months, neither nor TD showed VPC immediate delay, but 12 both groups did; no group preference. RM, presented with blocks containing learning phase three different scene-face pairs, test one of scenes all faces appearing simultaneously. When there was interference from other pairs between test, 6-month-old evidence an preference, when interference, they revealed familiarity For TD, some during RM seen regardless interference. Although similar on looking subtle attention familiar novel as compared peers, suggesting that might be underlying processing mechanisms TD. More work is needed understand how these attentional patterns predictive later outcomes.
