What will be an ideal response?
Ans: Students may have many different pieces of information, but here are some examples: (1) knowledge base has increased due to experience (and become more organized), (2) adolescents have more knowledge in long term memory to be retrieved to use in problem solving and likely more effective retrieval processes; (3) adolescents are better at inhibiting irrelevant information that may interfere with using logic on a task; (4) adolescents have greater working memory skills, arguably able to maintain more information simultaneously to be used for problem solving; and (5) adolescents are better at planning (e.g., working memory tasks).
