CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Working Memory: An active system that processes the information in short term memory. Selective attention – the ability to focus on only one stimulus from among all sensory input.

Detailed explanation-2: -Which of the following are characteristics of short-term storage? Information is maintained through rehearsal. Information is available for 2 to 3 seconds. It holds information from one source at a time.

Detailed explanation-3: -Information from sensory memory has the shortest retention time, ranging from mere milliseconds to five seconds. It is retained just long enough for it to be transferred to short-term (working) memory.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
