Research suggests that socioeconomic circumstances and stress predict memory skills in adults and older children, yet few studies have addressed this question in infancy. The current study used the visual-paired comparison paradigm to examine whether socioeconomic circumstances, maternal perceived stress, and/or maternal physiological stress, all measured prenatally, predict memory performance among 6-month-old infants. We found no significant associations between infant memory and any measure of socioeconomic circumstance or stress. Potential explanations for these null findings are discussed.
研究表明，社会经济状况和压力可以预测成年人和大龄儿童的记忆能力，但很少有研究在婴儿期探讨这个问题。本研究使用视觉配对比较范式，考察了产前测量的社会经济状况、母亲感知压力和/或母亲生理压力是否会预测 6 个月大婴儿的记忆表现。我们没有发现婴儿记忆与任何社会经济状况或压力测量指标之间存在显著关联。对这些无效发现的潜在解释进行了讨论。
