在婴儿8个月大的两周时间里，通过让他们听三个儿童故事的录音10天来探索他们对单词发音模式的长期保持，在两周的间隔后，婴儿听到了故事中频繁出现或不出现的单词列表。婴儿听故事单词表的时间要长得多。相比之下，没有听过这些故事的对照组婴儿没有表现出这样的偏好。研究结果表明，8个月大的婴儿开始对语音中频繁出现的单词进行长期存储，这是学习语言的重要前提。
Infants' long-term retention of the sound patterns of words was explored by exposing them to recordings of three children's stories for 10 days during a 2-week period when they were 8 months old, After an interval of 2 weeks, the infants heard lists of words that either occurred frequently or did not occur in the stories. The infants listened significantly longer to the lists of story words. By comparison, a control group of infants who had not been exposed to the stories showed no such preference. The findings suggest that 8-month-olds are beginning to engage in long-term storage of words that occur frequently in speech, which is an important prerequisite for learning language.
