Babies as young as 4 months old can form memories: Study
Babies as young as four months old are capable of forming memories, researchers stated. They showed series of images to 26 infants between 4 and 24 months and then tested their memory recall by displaying familiar and new images side by side. They found that the orbitofrontal cortex, a region involved in memory-related decision-making and recognition, showed activity during test.
