Discouraging children from organizing information into categories
B
Limiting opportunities for children to practice retrieval of information
C
Avoiding the use of mnemonic devices in learning activities
D
Encouraging children to use rehearsal techniques, such as repeating information aloud
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that improving children's memory skills involves strategies that enhance encoding, storage, and retrieval of information.
Recognize that organizing information into categories helps memory by creating meaningful connections, so discouraging this is not a good strategy.
Know that practicing retrieval (actively recalling information) strengthens memory, so limiting retrieval practice is counterproductive.
Identify that mnemonic devices are tools designed to aid memory by linking new information to familiar concepts, so avoiding them is not beneficial.
Conclude that encouraging rehearsal techniques, such as repeating information aloud, helps reinforce memory by keeping information active in working memory and facilitating transfer to long-term memory.
