One method to study the memory of very young children is to teach them a sequence, such as pushing a button and then flipping a latch in order to open a door behind which there is a toy. researchers model the sequence and then see if the child can remember it. this method is known as

Elicited Imitation

Explanation:

Provoked imitation is a term that refers to a method of assessing the spectacular changes in the brain areas involved in memory that occur during the first two years of life. To assess declarative memory (“the memories”) in pre-verbal children, the investigators use the provoked imitation, where they show an action to babies and give them the opportunity to imitate that action.

With this method it is possible to study the memory of very young children, and to realize that memory improvements with age are consistent with brain development.
