Abstract

The presentation will build on two recent studies that combine behavioral observations of memory (deferred imitation, DI), electrophysiological (Event-Related Potentials, ERP) measures of associative memory and parental reports of language in 14-monthsold children. In both studies, an ERP (Nc) response indicating associative memory as well as a correlation between Nc and DI was observed. Further analysis revealed strong individual variability: The clearest relationship with ERP was noted for the subgroup of children performing non-optimally on the DI tasks. In addition, we also found a statistically significant correlation between parental report of receptive language and our ERP measure of associative memory.
