In Experiment I, it was found that a 10-s cumulative study time would elicit a robust novelty response in infant monkeys, whereas a 5-s cumulative study time would not. In Experiment 2, infant monkeys were given a 10-s cumulative familiarization period. Following a 48-hr delay, they then were given 6 visual paired-comparison test trials-3 were preceded by a 5-s cumulative refamiliarization period and 3 were not. The infant monkeys exhibited a novelty response only after refamiliarization. These findings suggest savings (the phenomenon whereby prior exposure to information facilitates the relearning of the material) and parallel E. H. Cornell's (1979) work on human infants. Results are discussed in terms of implicit and explicit memory
