Introduction to Theoriesof Development
• - Piaget (1952): Transition from sensorimotor to
preoperational stage; emergence of mental representation.
• - Vygotsky (1978): Fundamental role of language and social
interaction in learning.
• - Baddeley (1986): Growth of working memory leading to
improved attention and academic skills.

Scientific Studies onMemory
Development
• - Bauer (2007): Stable episodic memory appears around ages
3-4.
• - Gathercole (1998): Connection between working memory
and academic success.
• - Kuhl (2004): Language explosion due to the development of
phonological memory.

Contributions to Learning
•- Development of vocabulary and symbolic reasoning.
• - Beginning of social learning: rules, emotions, and self-
regulation.
• - Importance of peer interactions in social skill acquisition.
5.
Memory and PreschoolEducation
• - Importance of memory competencies for school readiness.
• - Connection between memory functions and academic
performance.
• - Role of preschool in strengthening memory skills.

Memory Skills Involvedin Learning
• - Working memory: Following instructions and manipulating
information.
• - Semantic memory: Acquiring academic vocabulary.
• - Procedural memory: Routines and self-sufficiency (like
dressing and organizing).

Environmental Factors ImpactingMemory
and Learning
• - The importance of verbal stimulation for cognitive growth.
• - Role of play in enhancing memory skills and learning.
• - Impact of supportive educational environments on memory
development.
