Memory for former preschool classmates was examined in 9- and 10-year-old children using measures of both explicit and implicit memory. Yes-no recognition of faces was at low levels but was significantly above chance. Skin conductance data showed similarly low but above-chance differentiation between classmates and controls. A median split of children based on their recognition memory scores showed that children with little evidence of explicit memory for classmates were as likely to show differential skin conductance responding to faces of former classmates as were children with higher recognition scores. Infantile amnesia, like the clinical syndrome for which it is named, may not always involve complete loss of encoded information.
通过显性和隐性记忆测量方法，对9岁和10岁儿童对以前幼儿园同学的记忆进行了研究。面孔的是/否识别水平较低，但显著高于随机水平。皮肤电传导数据显示，同学和对照组之间的差异同样较低，但也高于随机水平。根据儿童的识别记忆分数进行中位数划分，结果显示，对同学几乎没有显性记忆证据的儿童，与识别分数较高的儿童一样，对以前同学的面孔可能表现出不同的皮肤电传导反应。婴儿期遗忘症，就像它所命名的临床综合征一样，可能并不总是涉及编码信息的完全丧失。
