Abstract | Agents are important for structuring memory in adulthood. However, it is unclear whether this "social memory bias" stems from a reliance on agents in verbal narratives, or whether it reflects more fundamental preverbal memory processes. By testing 9-month-old infants in a non-verbal eye-tracking paradigm, we were able to effectively compare infant memory for events construed as the goal-directed action of an agent with those construed as the outcome of an inanimate object. Results demonstrate that preverbal infants' memory increased for events including an agent as opposed to an inanimate object (Exp 1). Memory was also enhanced if infants were trained to perceive the inanimate object as an agent's tool (Exp 2). Memory results were not dependent on attention differences to the events during encoding. Thus, these experiments suggest that the presence of a person in an event can alter foundational memory processes. (As Provided). |
