CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Information processing begins in sensory memory, moves to short-term memory, and eventually moves to long-term memory. Maintenance rehearsal and chunking are used to keep information in short-term memory. The capacity of long-term memory is large, and there is no known limit to what we can remember.

Detailed explanation-2: -Sensory memory thus formed may end up in two ways: it can be registered as STM; or it may be lost from consciousness forever (Fig. 3.4). The STM thus formed may also end up in two ways it may pass into long-term memory; or may vanish totally.

Detailed explanation-3: -The three major classifications of memory that the scientific community deals with today are as follows: sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory. Information from the world around us begins to be stored by sensory memory, making it possible for this information to be accessible in the future.

Detailed explanation-4: -The three main stores are the sensory memory, short-term memory (STM) and long-term memory (LTM). Each of the memory stores differs in the way information is processed (encoding), how much information can be stored (capacity), and for how long (duration).

Detailed explanation-5: -When we visit a friend or go to the beach, our brain stores a short-term memory of the experience in a part of the brain called the hippocampus. Those memories are later “consolidated”-that is, transferred to another part of the brain for longer-term storage.
