Definition
- Method for the study of episodic memory in infants aged 6 to 18 months. In the first phase of the task, the lever enabling babies to move a model train on a circular track is turned off. In the second phase, the lever is turned on, allowing infants to learn to move the train. In the third phase, the lever is switched off again. The train is considered to have been recognized when babies frequently activate the lever in the third phase as compared to the first.
