Neuroimaging on Object%20Permanence - Dictionary of Arguments

Slater I 92
Object permanence/Neuroimaging: the results of (…) neuroimaging studies help clarify the role of brain activity in infant object permanence. Specifically,
the infant and adult brain both involve the right-temporal cortex in maintaining a memory for an unseen object (Kaufman et al., 2003)(1)
;
this process appears to be driven by particular psychophysical properties of the occlusion event (i.e., the object must disappear in a way consistent with continued existence, Kaufman et al., 2005)(2); and
the activity underlying hidden object memory in infants is not involved in the memory for hidden faces.
