Creating relationships or shared meanings between items. Often generates a mental image (e. g. , fish smoking a pipe) Children use a variety of strategies to solve a problem.

Early in development, children use simple strategies. As they get older, they use more effortful, but efficient strategies more frequently. When facing a problem or task, children: try variety of strategies, observe how well they work, gradually select those leading to rapid, accurate answers. Older children and adolescents become adept at strategy use. But many 8-18 year olds regularly media multitask, causing executive function difficulties while studying or problem-solving. Reduces learning: difficulty filtering out irrelevant stimuli, easily distracted.
