Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research has shown that short-term memory span increases during early childhood, with children being able to remember increasing numbers of items as they grow older. Long-term memory continues to develop and mature throughout childhood and into adulthood. Ethnic origin does not have a significant effect on memory span, and while genetics do play a role in memory, it is not one of the major factors affecting it.
