Let’s say you have a friend who wants to take her 6 month old girl to Disneyland

Let’s say you have a friend who wants to take her 6 month old girl to Disneyland in the hopes that, one day, the baby will become a fan of Disney just like her parents.  (1) Based on your reading of Chapter 13, about memory, would you recommend it, or not?  Why?
(2) What if the baby were 14 months old?  Would your recommendation stay the same, or change?  Why?
Be sure to include a quote from the reading to back up your answer.  Make sure to also respond to another student’s posting, both with what you liked about the posting, but then a follow up question to clarify or expand the arguments within the post.

Based on the chapter’s information, I would not recommend taking a 6 month old to Disneyland. Although infants are very smart and responsive at that age, going to Disneyland in hopes of becoming a fan will not be guaranteed. As kids grow, they experience so many things. A child can go to Disney as a kid and won’t remember anything if the child is not going constantly. Infants can remember things for a certain amount of time after constantly looking at objects. As mentioned in the book, ” Even newborns will cease looking at a repeated stimulus, but it is unlikely that they’re actually aware that it is familiar” (pg. 340). This shows how infants can see familiar objects constantly and wouldn’t be aware of what they are actually looking at. I have actually encountered kids who say they went to Disneyland as Infants and they don’t remember what their experience was like. Only seeing objects often can be familiar and aware of what it is.
Even as a 14 month old, I wouldn’t recommend taking a child. A 14 month old is a little more aware than a 6 month old but infants can’t remember. After 2-3 years old, they can remember more things. Their child development needs to develop further for their memory and cognitive skills to be able to remember things. I don’t remember things from age 1m to 4y.
