CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -We get information into our brains through a process called encoding, which is the input of information into the memory system. Once we receive sensory information from the environment, our brains label or code it. We organize the information with other similar information and connect new concepts to existing concepts.

Detailed explanation-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -Memory is essentially the capacity for storing and retrieving information. Three processes are involved in memory: encoding, storage, and retrieval. All three of these processes determine whether something is remembered or forgotten.

Detailed explanation-4: -Encoding-the initial registration of information-is essential in the learning and memory process. Unless an event is encoded in some fashion, it will not be successfully remembered later. However, just because an event is encoded (even if it is encoded well), there’s no guarantee that it will be remembered later.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
