OTAGO, New Zealand, Dec. 28 (UPI) -- Events experienced by children as young as age 2 can be recalled later, researchers in New Zealand found.
Study leader Fiona Jack, a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Otago, and colleagues looked at about 50 children and their parents. The children played a unique game when they were ages 2-4 in which they placed a large object in a hole at the top of a machine and turned a handle on the side. When a bell rang, a small but otherwise identical object was delivered through a door at the bottom of the machine, the researchers said.
