Commentary: Elucidating the Neural Correlates of Early Childhood Memory
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Mullally, Sinead L. – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2015
Both episodic memory and the key neural structure believed to support it, namely the hippocampus, are believed to undergo protracted periods of postnatal developmental. Critically however, the hippocampus is comprised of distinct subfields and circuits, and these circuits appear to mature at different rates (Lavenex and Banta Lavenex, 2013).…

Bachevalier, Jocelyne – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2015
Studies investigating the development of memory processes and their neural substrates have flourished over the past two decades. The review by Jabès and Nelson (2015) adds an important piece to our understanding of the maturation of different elements and circuits within the hippocampal system and their association with the progressive development…

Jabès, Adeline; Nelson, Charles A. – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2015
In 1995, Nelson published a paper describing a model of memory development during the first years of life. The current article seeks to provide an update on the original work published 20 years ago. Specifically, we review our current knowledge on the relation between the emergence of explicit memory functions throughout development and the…

Lavenex, Pamela Banta; Lavenex, Pierre – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2015
In 1995, Nelson explored the relation between early memory development and corresponding changes in brain development, and conceptualized this knowledge in a coherent theoretical framework (Nelson, 1995). In their review, Jabe's and Nelson provide an update of Nelson's 1995 cognitive neuroscience model of human memory development. In this article,…

Newcombe, Nora S. – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2015
The study of development vacillates between a focus on change (i.e., studying how and why infants are so different from adults) and excitement about early competence and continuity (i.e., studying how capable infants are, and marveling at how similar they turn out to be to adults). The study of memory development has been no exception. This…

Improvement of Allocentric Spatial Memory Resolution in Children from 2 to 4 Years of Age
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Lambert, Farfalla Ribordy; Lavenex, Pierre; Lavenex, Pamela Banta – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2015
Allocentric spatial memory, the memory for locations coded in relation to objects comprising our environment, is a fundamental component of episodic memory and is dependent on the integrity of the hippocampal formation in adulthood. Previous research from different laboratories reported that basic allocentric spatial memory abilities are reliably…
