Phonological short term memory in infants

[Marita Boehning]

Dear Info-CHILDES,

 my colleagues and I are planning to create an
experiment on phonological short term memory in
infants (11 months).  The experiment is part of a
study on early language acquisition.
As the children are preverbal we will use the
preferential head turning paradigm.
Has anybody done anything like this or knows any
useful references? Or is there any data on how much
(i.e. how many syllables) children that age can
remember?


Thank you!
