Document Summary

Control processes or executive functions: involved in planning and monitoring what is attended to, and what is done with the information, metacognition k(cid:374)o(cid:449)ledge of o(cid:374)e"s (cid:272)og(cid:374)iti(cid:448)e a(cid:271)ilities a(cid:374)d processes related to thinking.

Recall in order of rapidly presented unrelated items. Changes in processing speed: due to biological maturation. Increased myelination of associative (thinking) areas of the brain.

Deliberately implemented, goal directed operations used to aid task performance. Production and utilization deficiencies: fail to produce effective strategies when young, fail to benefit immediately from a newly trained. Multiple strategy and variable strategy use strategy: children have a variety of strategies they choose from, adaptive strategy choice model. With experience, more sophisticated strategies are used. Novel situations children fall back to easier strategies. What children know about thinking: implicit cognition thought without awareness. An early developing ability that shows little difference across age.
