Discuss what memory is like in early childhood
What will be an ideal response?
Young children are developing significant memory abilities. They are better at recognition memory tasks—"have I seen this before?"—than they are at recall tasks—"tell me what toys you played with yesterday." Young children are also likely to have better memory for activities they have engaged in than for objects they may have used. The development of autobiographical memory—memory of specific events in one's life—seems to come as much from what parents tell children about their lives, as memory for the actual events. Children also remember events that follow a logical order more so than ones that do not follow a particular order. Children are able to remember more information when they are provided with retrieval cues.
