Electrophysiologic evidence of impaired cross-modal recognition memory in 8-month-old infants of diabetic mothers.

Objectives: Previous studies have shown deficits in auditory and visual recognition memory in infants of diabetic mothers. The purpose of this study was to further investigate memory development in infants of diabetic mothers (IDMs) by evaluating cross-modal recognition memory followed by behavioral memory testing at 8 months of age.

Study Design: Cross-modal (tactile to vision) recognition memory was evaluated using event related potentials.
