Question

during middle childhood, the capacity of short-term memory, also known as __________, increases significantly.

Answer 1

During middle childhood, a child's short-term memory, also known as Working memory, increases.

Middle childhood is when a child is between the age of 6 and 12 which means that it ends just before teenagerhood. At this point, their brain activity increases significantly to the point where their working memory sees huge growth.

Working memory is short-term memory and allows us to retain information for a short period of time. This is important because:

• It enables us remember tasks to be performed
• It enables us converse with people
• It enables us to read

In conclusion, the working memory of a child becomes much better in middle childhood and this allows them to relate better with other people.
