The neural mechanisms of object working memory: what is where in the infant brain?

Journal article

The question of how representational capacities develop in humans has been engaging cognitive psychologists for decades. Looking time studies have explored when infants start to show signs of perceiving and remembering the properties of specific objects at specific locations. Here we integrate these findings into the neuroscientific framework of human visual working memory. We suggest that the development of a system involving the temporal cortex, thalamic and hippocampal structures and possi...
