A new study shows that children can remember faces they saw when they were just twelve months old.

The two-and-a-half year study was conducted by two male scientists of equal age. It was done by a very simple method. Families with one-year-olds brought their children to meet one of the researchers. He spent forty-five minutes with the children. They did not meet his colleague. Then, when the children were three and a half, they revisited the research facility. They were shown photographs of both men. The children focused on the man they didn’t recognise. Their tendency was to study the strangers face, as children often do when they meet new people.

The children couldn’t say how they knew the familiar face. The study, however, demonstrated that even as babies, our memories function remarkably well.
