Source monitoring, or the ability to accurately remember where information came from, improves with age. Therefore, it is likely that the 10-year-old would be more accurate in remembering which parts they each constructed for the birthday card. Additionally, childhood amnesia, or the inability to remember events from early childhood, is not complete and does not usually extend back to the age of 4. Thus, choice C can be ruled out. Choices A and B are also incorrect as both working memory and source monitoring show developmental changes with age.
