CHILDREN'S RECALL AND RECOGNITION MEMORY FOR TEMPORAL SEQUENCES

该子项目是利用NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源的许多研究子项目之一。子项目和研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金，因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为中心，不一定是研究者所在机构。描述和回忆过去是大多数成年人认为理所当然的基本能力。传统上，人们认为各种缺陷使3岁以下的儿童无法分享这种精神生活的特征。与这些假设相反，越来越多的证据表明，支持长期外显记忆的神经基质在生命的第一年的下半年开始合并。在此期间的长期记忆的变化和大脑和长期外显记忆的行为指标之间的关系的结果是一致的这一建议。研究结果表明，新记忆的编码和巩固的差异，记忆痕迹的脆弱性，或两者兼而有之，是第一年后期长期外显记忆个体差异的来源。在两个实验中，我们结合联合收割机的行为和电生理指标的记忆性能，以确定来源或来源的个体差异。因此，正在进行的研究有望为发展变化的发生者提供信息。GCRC将在安排参与者、提供婴儿护理空间以及提供管理技术人员和协助ERP测试会议方面成为本提案的组成部分。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. Representing and recalling the past are fundamental capacities that most adults take for granted. Traditionally, it was thought that a variety of deficits rendered children under 3 year of age incapable of sharing this feature of mental life. Contrary to these assumptions there is increasing evidence that the neural substrate that supports explicit memory over the long-term begins to coalesce in the second half of the first year of life. Findings of variability in long-term memory in this period and of relations between brain and behavioral indices of long-term explicit memory are consistent with this suggestion. The findings converge to suggest that differences in the encoding and consolidation of new memories, in the vulnerability of memory traces to forgetting, or both, are the sources for individual differences in long-term explicit memory in the latter part of the first year. In two experiments we combine behavioral and electrophysiological indices of mnemonic performance to identify the source or sources of individual variability. The on-going research thus is expected to inform as to the generators of developmental change. The GCRC will be integral to this proposal in scheduling or participants, supplying space in the infancy care, and providing a technician for administration and assistance with the ERP testing sessions.
