TL;DR
Neurobiological, information-processing, developmental shifts, cognitive-developmental, and evolutionary findings and theories provide alternative hypotheses for infantile amnesia and transference that suggest a need for revisions and redefinitions for these two psychoanalytic concepts.

This paper would never have been written without Professor Zangwill’s urging, and I am grateful to him for having brought me to a more careful review of the older literature and a more precise statement of my own ideas.

3,311 Citations1991Larry R. Squire, Stuart Zola‐Morgan
The medial temporal lobe memory system is needed to bind together the distributed storage sites in neocortex that represent a whole memory, but the role of this system is only temporary, as time passes after learning, memory stored in neoc cortex gradually becomes independent of medialporal lobe structures.

Support for the general hypothesis that the human brain localizes mental operations of the kind posited by cognitive theories is integrated in the performance of cognitive tasks such as reading comes from studies in mental imagery, timing, and memory.

872 Citations1991Allan F. Mirsky, Bruno J. Anthony +3 more
This work presents a heuristic for clinical research in which the measurement of attention is essential, and substitutes for the diffuse and global concept of “attention” a group of four processes and links them to a putative system of cerebral structures.

The results provide evidence for selective activation of the human hippocampal region in association with memory function and lead to a suggestion about the neural basis of repetition priming: following presentation of a stimulus, less neural activity is required to process the same stimulus.

Girls appear better able than boys to verbalize parts of traumas from before ages 28 to 36 months, which serves as an approximate cut-off point separating those children who can fully verbalize their past experiences from those who can do so in part or not at all.

Functional differences between Pdm and the other two areas are demonstrated and suggest that Pdm plays a role in selective visual attention, whereas PI and PL probably contribute to other aspects of visual perception.

Empirical studies of the first two years of life suggest that the enhancement of retrieval memory, the emergence of a linguistic set at 15 to 18 months of age, and sensitivity to standards of competence prior to the second birthday are emergent human competences that may not necessarily have a historical link to the events of early infancy.
