Sensory register the part of memory where incoming info from one of the 5 senses is stored very briefly. The part of memory where consciously noted info is stored for 10-20 seconds. The part of memory where info is stored for a long time. Processes that control the transfer of info from a sensory register to working memory. Processes that retain info in working memory &/or transfer it to long-term memory. Preschoolers demonstrate both recognition & free recall in their daily activities. Usually do more poorly on recall tasks than older children & adults. They have a digit span of 3 to 4 items. Young children are often oblivious to the memory demands of a situation. Speed of info processing is slower in younger children. Tasks require more memory space for younger children. Social cognition: understanding of the social world are likely to do.
