CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Memories are stored initially in the hippocampus, where synapses among excitatory neurons begin to form new circuits within seconds of the events to be remembered. An increase in the strength of a relatively small number of synapses can bind connected neurons into a circuit that stores a new memory.

Detailed explanation-2: -The answer is synaptic plasticity. This term describes the persistent changes in the strength of connections – called synapses – between brain cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -Retroactive interference (retro=backward) occurs when you forget a previously learnt task due to the learning of a new task. In other words, later learning interferes with earlier learning-where new memories disrupt old memories.
