Information Processing
1) Information processing 'appears' to improve with age
as children grow older they seem to remember and recall more information as they have engaged in numerous experiences
2) Experiences enhances information processing
It is suggested children think differently to adults when processing information. As we get older we use our past experiences to solve new problems in the present.
3) Information processing may be at the heart of intelligence
There has been thought around that the speed at which information is processed is the foundation of intelligence
