Question

Your sister-in-law is amazed at her 9-year-old son. She can remember when her son was not able to sit and listen to a story for very long and now, he is able to listen intently and remember the story in very good detail. What two advances occur during middle childhood in information processing abilities that assist with his newly developed abilities? a) Visual scanning and search routines b) Attention and memory c) Motivation and diligence d) Decentering and critical processing

Answer 1

Answer:

Attention and memory.

Explanation:

Development of working memory and increased activity of networks involving the frontal cortex and parietal cortex in the brain have been related to maturation of the connecting fibres of the brain called white matter. As the kid grew, his brain did too. That means that the parts of his brain that were in charge of his memory and attention are now more developed than they were before, resulting in those two advances.
