Zone1 Do newborn infants have long term memory

[Hafar1014]

Yes, that's why I did the OU course.

Did you fail or was course outdated material. Read this study

Some still believe in the blank slate tabula rasa concept when an infant is born. This has been a serious error in the case of adoptions. It was believed that the baby wont have any memory of the loss of the birth mother.

Infants are born with a functioning Limbic System which creates memory and emotion. There is no prefrontal cortex which is explicit thought.

Taken from Robert Hafetz Parenting the adopted child
Infants only a few days old can record long term memories. “Infants do not think but they do process emotions and long term memories are stored as affective schemas” (Geansbauer, 2002). An infant separated from its first mother will record a memory of that event. Memories of this nature are called preverbal memory representations and they have a unique quality that must be understood by adoptive parents. “Infant memories are recalled in adulthood the same way they were recorded at the time they occurred. It is difficult possibly impossible for children to map newly acquired verbal skills on to existing preverbal memory representations” (Richardson, R., & Hayne, H. 2007). An older adoptee who recalls an emotional memory will experience it the same way it was felt as an infant. Adoptees can have troubling memories that they cannot identify in words. This means that they cannot understand what they are feeling and without a vocabulary they cannot even ask for help. This leads to a cognitive /emotional disconnection. “Children fail to translate their preverbal memories into language”(Simcock, Hayne, 2002).

An adopted child will learn from his family that he is wanted, loved, belongs with them, and that they will never leave him. His emotional memories will trigger fears that are exactly the opposite. An adopted child can know he belongs but feel isolated. He can know that he will never be abandoned but feel that he will. He can know that he is whole but feel that a part of him is missing. He can know that he is loved but feel that he is not. This incongruence between thoughts and feelings becomes the foundation of poor attachment, problem behaviors, power struggles, poor academic performance, and behaviors parents can’t understand. The struggle to bring thoughts and feelings into coherence can be a lifelong task for adopted children. It doesn’t have to be this way.

Enlightened parents can create a nurturing healing environment within the family if they are aware of this process and are proficient in how to deal with it. The knowledge needed to raise an adopted child is not readily available and few effective parenting programs can be found. The foundation of healing attachment related resistance is to create experiences of secure attachment when the child is experiencing attachment anxiety or acting out in challenging behaviors.

Are the beliefs stated in your OP based upon your emotions?

Every belief is based on emotion that how every brain works.

Do newborn infants have long term memory​

No … so you can do pretty much anything you want to them.

When I discover research that support my belief it then becomes a fact. Thats the process of hypothesis leading to facts

You literally just contradicted yourself. According to you there’s no such thing as facts. According to you all beliefs are based upon emotion.

A fact is not a belief a belief which is a hypothesis leads to a fact when supported by valid research

When I said my beliefs are based upon evidence which are facts, your response was all beliefs are based on emotion.

Begin as emotion then must be confirmed by evidence created by the scientific method. In the case of a god its nit needed. You can have belief with no proof or evidence

And when presented with evidence you don’t like you dismiss it. You are the one whose beliefs are based upon emotion.
