Growie's Memory Corner (Series 1)
Different children learn and remember information in different ways. Find out which method best suits your child!
Children's brains develop most rapidly in infancy, but continue to mature throughout childhood with a notable burst at adolescence.
As children get older, there are more and more things to remember, and this isn't always easy for them.
Memory is the retention of and the ability to recall information,
personal experiences and procedures (for examples, skills and habits).
Understanding the various methods of recall is critical to understanding how children learn.
Recent research has shown that:
|
Some children recall more details from photographs than those who are verbally reminded.
The images and colours arouse their brains, creating excitement that enables them to remember things.
|
|
Some children may filter out information or choose not to complete certain tasks that are difficult to understand.
These children only retain information effectively when learning strategies are kept simple.
|
|
As children become more developmentally advanced, they will tend to remember things through conversations.
When they share their experiences by talking, the verbal reinforcement has a further impact on preserving memory.
|
|
Some children only recall things when they write them down.
When these children pen down their thoughts, lessons, or events, their brains naturally absorb and study the information.
