Infants may be able to form:
Semantic memories: memories of facts like the names of different varieties of apples or the capital of your home state.
Procedural memories: how to perform an action.
Infants cannot form autobiographical memories, remembering events with them being the main character of their consciousness.
You can get infants to remember events for longer by training them for longer periods of time and by giving them reminders.
