CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -1 Memory: A system that encodes, stores and retrieves information. While we are learning more about memory every day, psychologists still are unsure exactly what parts of the brain are involved and where it is all stored.

Detailed explanation-2: -Memory is a system or process that stores what we learn for future use. Our memory has three basic functions: encoding, storing, and retrieving information. Encoding is the act of getting information into our memory system through automatic or effortful processing.

Detailed explanation-3: -The modal model of memory (storage) highlights the existence of two types of memory: short-term and long-term memory. Encoded information is first stored in short-term memory and then, if need be, is stored in long-term memory (Roediger & McDermott, 1995).

Detailed explanation-4: -Memory encoding allows information to be converted into a construct that is stored in the brain indefinitely; once it is encoded, it can be recalled from either short-or long-term memory. The four primary types of encoding are visual, acoustic, elaborative, and semantic.

Detailed explanation-5: -Encoding is the first process of memory, during which information is transformed so that it can be stored. This is a physiological process which starts with attention. A memorable event causes the neurons to fire more rapidly, organizing the information into a systematic array that can be recalled later.
