A huge literature is devoted to characterizing children’s memory development and mnemonic capabilities. Research suggests that even very young children are able to perform quite well on a variety of memory tasks, but that there are also many age‐related differences in children’s memory abilities, including in short‐term, working, and long‐term memory. These age‐related differences are frequently attributed to the maturation of basic processes in the brain that are involved in the encoding, storage, retrieval, and reporting of information, as well as other contextual factors such as level of prior knowledge and the way in which parents structure conversations with their children (Ornstein & Haden, 2001).
