Think of a young child (3-7 years old) whom you know (or it could be a child you’ve seen in a public place or a child from a TV show or a movie).
Describe ONE way in which his/her thinking illustrates ONE of the four non-neurological reasons that children’s memory improves with age (from 10/12 in-class lecture slides). EXPLAIN how the child’s thinking relates to that reason.
A specific example is fine, or you can provide a descriiption of a pattern of thinking and/or responding. Specify the child’s age (even if approximately). Note that you may use an example of faulty thinking or correct thinking.
Grading rubric:
Descriiption of what the child said/did (2 points) and age of child (1 point)
Which of the four non-neurological reasons it is related to (1 point) and how this illustrates that reason (3 points);
Here is an example that I mentioned in class: (it is actually related to two things discussed in class, but you only need to link yours to one).
Descriiption of a child’s thinking and child’s age:
A five-year-old girl needed to remember to bring a notebook to school. So, she made a reminder note for herself and put it in a piggy bank.
Which reason it is related to and how this illustrates one of the reasons for improvement of a child’s declarative memory:
This is relevant to deficient strategy use (i.e., faulty thinking) AND also to improved metamemory in children (i.e., correct thinking). The girl understands that she needs a reminder because she might forget (good metamemory) but uses a deficient memory strategy (a reminder needs to be visible to be helpful but a note in a piggy bank is NOT visible).
