It was also discovered that they were more adept at performing cross modal matching in the Visual-to-Haptic direction. Memory is important in infancy as it forms the basis for more complex procedures such as learning and reasoning. Studies of haptic memory in infants is particularly useful because it allows researchers to study the more perceptual representation of information as
