Experiments (2) with 18 wk old infants employed an interference paradigm to study infant visual memory. The infants were habituated to a repeated stimulus, given several trials with 1 or more interpolated stimuli and then tested for recognition of the original stimulus. In experiment 1, both amount of exposure and the similarity of the potentially interfering material to the original habituation stimulus were manipulated. Neither produced a significant interference effect, although some effect may have been shown by subjects who habituated to the interference stimuli. Experiment 2 failed to replicate the interference effect for habituators but did demonstrate more clearly long-term retention of the originally remembered material. Infant visual memory was a robust phenomenon, relatively immune to interference under most conditions.
