When children initially know more about the topic being studied, they are more likely to remember it better than adults. This is because children are more curious and interested in learning about new things, and they have fewer preconceived notions and biases that can interfere with their learning. Thus, in this scenario, children can learn and remember more easily than adults. The other options do not necessarily improve children's learning and memory abilities.
