Preferred term

visual paired-comparison paradigm  

Definition

  • A method of studying infant memory based on the principle of preference for novelty. A pair of identical stimuli (or a single stimulus) is presented visually to the infant (familiarization phase). Then a new pair of stimuli is presented, consisting of a familiar stimulus paired with a novel stimulus. Discrimination of the two stimuli is inferred when the baby pays more attention to the new stimulus than to the familiar stimulus.
