Ψ Memory is facilitated by repetition, reminders, & active involvement. Ψ Infantile amnesia (Freud's term) - poor long term memory - In order for ideas or memories to become conscious, it is necessary that they be associated with a language. We cannot consciously remember infantile experiences that occurred before language development began. Ψ Deferred imitation is the ability to remember & imitate witnessed behaviors, this occurs near the end of the 1st year. |
