When will my baby start
remembering things?
Memory is the mental process by means of which a person can
recall images, sights and sounds, and other things that have
happened in the past or are happening at present. The memory is
connective in nature because it
connects the past with the
present.
Memory is a mental process that the child develops at an early
age. In approximately the second month the baby will give some
responses which indicate that he remembers some people whom
he sees or some simple actions that are done in front of him, but
the memory at this age is limited.
One of the indications that babies remember
simple actions is an
experiment in which the researcher stuck out his tongue
repeatedly in front of two-‐month-‐old babies, and they watched
him with amazement. Twenty-‐four hours later, the researcher
again entered the
room where the infants were, keeping his
tongue inside his mouth this time, but the infants started sticking
out their tongues. It was as if they were saying: “We remember
you; you did this!”
This is what
is called recognition memory, or the child’s ability to
identify people and things that he has seen before; it develops
more as the child grows.
The newborn baby is able to recognize the sound of his mother’s
voice from birth, because he got used
to hearing it when he was
in her womb. The baby who is breastfed is able to recognize his
mother’s smell from one week after birth. Within a few months,
babies start to recognize familiar faces, such as the faces of the
mother
and father, and they prefer them to other faces. But this
kind of memory only works when the child is able to remember
something he knew from before; this is useful but it is limited.
