Exemplify two ways that adolescents' cognitive development is more advanced than that of school-age children.
What will be an ideal response?
Adolescents become better able to selectively attend to relevant information. An adolescent may still be able to get her homework done while the TV is on, but a younger child may end up watching it and need to be prompted to get back to work. In addition, adolescents make use of a range of mnemonic devices. They know that they will remember information better for an exam if they form a word from the first letters of the terms they need to remember. For example, they would use the word HOMES to help them remember the names of the Great Lakes. They also know that an outline will help them to write a well-organized paper, whereas a younger child may include a number of facts haphazardly.
