Question:

The habituation technique is one method that is used to examine memory for infants. The procedure involves presenting a stimulus to an infant (usually projected on the ceiling above the crib) for a fixed time period and recording how long the infant spends looking at the stimulus. After a brief delay, the stimulus is presented again. If the infant spends less time looking at the stimulus during the second presentation, it is interpreted as indicating that the stimulus is remembered and, therefore, is less novel and less interesting than it was on the first presentation. This procedure is used with a sample of n = 30 2-week-old infants. For this sample, 22 infants spent less time looking at the stimulus during the second presentation than during the first. Do these data indicate a significant difference? Test at the .01 level of significance.
