Abstract: In this article, the authors reflect upon Carolyn Rovee-Collier's pioneering research on learning and memory in infants, especially that using the mobile conjugate reinforcement task, for our understanding of (a) cognitive development in infants born prematurely and those with Down's syndrome and (b) her prediction that infants’ performance in the mobile conjugate reinforcement and similar operant tasks would predict later intellectual functioning.
