CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -It has been suggested that infantile amnesia is due to the underdevelopment of the infant brain, which would preclude memory consolidation, or to deficits in memory retrieval.

Detailed explanation-2: -Our brain is not fully developed when we are born-it continues to grow and change during this important period of our lives. And, as our brain develops, so does our memory.

Detailed explanation-3: -The lack of stored memories, according to this theory, is due to brain immaturity. Some evidence has suggested that amnesia for events taking place in early childhood (before the age of 2) could be at least partly explained by difficulties with verbally recalling memories that were encoded before language acquisition.

Detailed explanation-4: -Many scientists have attributed this so-called “infantile amnesia” to a lack of development in the hippocampus, an area of the brain located in the temporal lobe that is crucial to encoding memory.

Detailed explanation-5: -There are many reasons kids are forgetful, including stress and lack of sleep. Being hungry can also have a big impact. But sometimes when kids have trouble remembering information, they may be struggling with a skill called working memory.
