List and define the three strategies discussed in the text related to improving performance on information-processing tasks? What are the developmental changes in the use of each strategy?

What will be an ideal response?

Rehearsal is repeating information that you want to remember. Organization is forming relationships among items in order to improve your memory for the items. Elaboration is creating visual or verbal associations to link items. Preschool children are less likely to use these strategies spontaneously; however, young children can be taught to use the strategies. Even after training, younger children do not use the strategies as effectively or consistently as older children. Rehearsal is often used by preschoolers, organization during elementary school, and elaboration during adolescence.
