conjugate reinforcement mobile
Operant learning technique for the study of memory development in infants from 2 to 6 months. A ribbon is attached to one of the baby's feet. His/her kicks do not allow to move a mobile placed above the cradle (stage to assess the baseline level of foot movements). The other end of the ribbon is then attached so that the kicks given by the child are shaking the mobile (acquisition phase). After a retention interval, the ribbon is again attached to the baby's ankle, but its kicking do not move the mobile (the mobile can be the same as that used during the phase of acquisition or different). If during this test, kicks outnumber the kicks obseved in the baseline level condition, the researcher infers that the baby recognized the mobile. If no difference is found between these two phases, the mobile is not recognized.
