Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

As adolescents' thinking and processing capacity increase, they are able to hold more information at once in working memory and combine it into increasingly complex and efficient representations. This suggests that they may still need to experiment with memory strategies to optimize their use of working memory. Long-term memory may also be utilized to support working memory, but this is not the primary implication of the increased processing capacity. Attention may become more selective in adolescence, rather than less.
