Answer to Question #156650 in Psychology for Holly Law

Question

I need to advise a teacher/nursery teacher on how to support children in a 5 year age gap (of my choice) on developmental topics eg, theory of mind, memory development, reading development, moral development etc any advice

Answer 1

Memory development ( Age 3-8)- Memory undergoes considerable improvement over the course of childhood for nursery kids. There are developmental changes in multiple aspects of memory, including children’s ability to recognize previously faced stimuli as well as their ability to recall contextual details linked with these stimuli across a delay. However, the cognitive and neural mechanisms underlying these changes remain relatively unexplored.
