Response Paper-process in which information is encoded, stored and retrieved.

Memory is the process in which information is encoded, stored and retrieved. Memory development begins from infancy through to adulthood. Psychologists such as Jean Piaget present several stage of cognitive development that varies based on a person’s age. In the first three years of a child’s life, the declarative memory becomes advanced as the child acquires permanent life skills such as riding a bicycle. A child also can acquire episodic memories, which reflect on his or her personal experiences. However, these memories are bound to fade as the child grows older. At the age of 2-7years, a child acquires knowledge through pretend play (Parkin, 2013).
