Improvement in infant memory probably indicates

A) enhanced encoding of information.
B) less efficiency in retrieving stored information.
C) that older infants use more memory pruning.
D) that deferred imitation must come before a child's ability to remember is solidified.

Enhanced Encoding

The process of improving the way information is absorbed and stored in the memory through the use of techniques or stimuli that strengthen memory traces.

Memory Pruning

Memory pruning involves the process by which the brain removes or weakens certain neural connections that are not often used, thereby optimizing cognitive functioning by removing unnecessary information.

Deferred Imitation

The ability to observe an action and replicate it later, even without the original model present, a skill indicating advanced cognitive development.
