在41/2个月大的时候，婴儿们被展示了一系列简短的选择试验，在一个总是保持不变的刺激和另一个每次试验都不同的刺激之间进行选择。确定每个婴儿对新刺激的一致偏好开始的时间点，并检查他们在该时间点之前的试验中对熟悉和新刺激的偏好。婴儿谁看到的物体或面孔作为刺激都表现出选择性注意熟悉的刺激之前，喜欢新的刺激，虽然婴儿万花筒模式没有。这些结果证明了在处理过程中早期熟悉的偏好，该过程不会由于处理速度的个体差异或婴儿之间的数据崩溃而引起歧义。这些结果支持了婴儿期记忆形成的非线性模型，并且最近表达了对认知发展研究的关注，即婴儿对感知熟悉性的关注必须仔细地从概念知识中解脱出来。
At 41/2 months, infants were shown a series of brief choice trials between a stimulus that always remained the same and another that was different on every trial. The point when a consistent preference for the novel stimulus commenced was identified for each infant, and their preferences for the familiar and novel stimuli in trials preceding that point were examined. Infants who saw objects or faces as stimuli both exhibited selective attention to the familiar stimulus prior to preferring novel stimuli, although infants shown kaleidoscope patterns did not. These results document a preference for familiarity early in processing with a procedure that is not subject to ambiguities due to individual differences in processing speed or to collapsing data across infants. The results support a nonlinear model for memory formation during infancy and under-score recently voiced concerns that in research on cognitive development, infants' attention to perceptual familiarity-novelty must be carefully disentangled from conceptual knowledge.
