Negative Affect, Emotional Expression, and Forgetting in Young Infants.

Singer, Jayne M.; Fagen, Jeffrey W.

Developmental Psychology, v28 n1 p48-57 Jan 1992

Trained 3 month olds to move a 10-object mobile. Changing the mobile to two objects resulted in crying for half the infants. A retention test was given one and seven days later. All infants exhibited retention at one day but only noncriers at seven days. Criers displayed more anger than noncriers in the one-day retention test. (BC)
