Document Summary
Information processing and transformation: (eg. hearing what do you want to eat? ) Information transmission: (e. g. putting plan into action) Coupled with other processing features (e. g. better memory; better inhibitory control) As we develop, our memory improves (additional processing power to improve output); our self-control improves (inhibition such as the marshmallow task) Modeled with computer flow-chart method o o. Phonological loop: such as language, keep rules in mind (wait and get another marshmallow) Central executive: help complete tasks (eat it now or eat it later?) Child learns to manage more rules with development. Shape and colour example: let"s sort these cards by colour, now we"re going to sort by shape, little kids: stick with original rule, have trouble integrating new rule.
