mobile conjugate reinforcement technique  

Définition

  • An operant conditioning technique used to study memory development in infants aged 2-6 months. A ribbon is attached to one of the baby's ankles. The baby's kicks do not move a mobile placed above the cot (a phase to assess the basic level of foot movement). The other end of the ribbon is then attached in such a way that the child's kicks move the mobile (acquisition phase). After a retention interval, which the researcher can vary, the ribbon is again attached to the baby's ankle but the baby's kicks do not move the mobile (which can be the same as the one used during the acquisition phase or a different mobile). During this test, if the kicks are more numerous than the baseline kicks, the researcher infers that the baby has recognised the mobile. If there is no difference between these two phases, the mobile has not been recognised.
