Motor response to retrieve a reward by infants: A comparison of two paradigms

A sample of 59 infants (10-36 months of age) were studied in their motor response to pick up a desired reward. Two different setups were used looking for the most appropriate instrument for testing working memory in screening conditions. The first setup, (Paradigm A) required to pickup a detachable...

Two different setups were used looking for the most appropriate instrument for testing working memory in screening conditions. The first setup, (Paradigm A) required to pickup a detachable lid from one of two individual containers. The second one (Paradigm B) required sliding out one of the two flat lids from a box.
