Memory development from early childhood through emerging adulthood

Wolfgang Schneider

Memory is intimately involved with higher cognitive functions such as decision making and problem solving. It is front and center even in the most basic workings of the human mind. These multiple connections make memory a more diversified entity than we once thought it to be. But how does this all evolve in the individual, and over how long a time?

Memory Development from Early Childhood Through Emerging Adulthood reviews current insights into ongoing and newer areas of developmental memory studiesas well as innovations in testing, experimental design, and modeling. Chapters focus on pre-verbal and verbal memory, visuospatial memory, encoding and retrieval strategies, metamemory, and other core elements, locating their emergence from early infancy through emerging adulthood. The book's range of theories and findings carries considerable implications for study areas as varied as brain-behavior connections, children's learning styles, and the effects of early experiences on the developing psyche.
