Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tasks requiring children to remember isolated bits of information strongly motivate use of memory strategies because such tasks require focused attention and active processing to remember the information accurately. This engages the child's working memory and prompts them to use strategies like rehearsal, organization, and imagery to improve retention of the information. The other options, interactions between peers and siblings, parental pressure to excel in school, and experience with Piagetian tasks, may also influence memory strategy use to some extent, but not as strongly as the type of task.
