The Importance Of Earl Memory Development

sensory, short time or a long time depending on the time over which one is able of encoding and retain information. Studies indicate that at the age of 6 months, infants begin to develop long-term memory whereby they can recall their primary caretaker as well as their familiar environment (Skinner et al.,2016). Earl memory development plays a significant role in infants and toddlers, especially in helping them understand the basic concepts surrounding their immediate world. Language development emerges during the first two years of life whereby, infants and toddlers begin to develop skills to use symbols as a sign of communication. Psycholinguists have it that language development is dependent on physical growth thus as the brain develops

For instance, is through physical changes that we can determine the visible growth infants and toddlers at a given age, with suggested milestones, failure to which appropriate action is taken. The physical change in bone thickness, body size, and weight, motor development, perpetual, vision and hearing development mark a rapid change in growth of kids within the first two years of experience. Cognitive changes enable the children to learn, develop thinking skills, gain knowledge and make an appropriate decision on adaptation and survival matters pertaining their immediate environment. Through cognitive development, infants and toddlers interact with the people using their senses thus getting to know the environment in which they are groomed and also what the world expects from them at a given age. Cognitive development thus, enables children to grow through learning and interaction as they go through stages of psychological development. On the other hand, social-emotional changes are crucial to a child’s growth since they give one an ability to express feelings towards him/herself and towards other people. How a child relates to people depends on how the emotional changes have been influenced by the important people he/she came into contact with, within the first two years of life. Emotional aspects such as self-esteem, trust, friendship, pride fear, confidence, and humor are the foundation of social-emotional and personality development. This gives a reason why children who feel unloved, neglected and rejected finds it difficult to fit in the social world. Therefore, it is critical for parents and caregivers to understand the importance of physical, cognitive and social-emotional growth patterns so that they can create a nurturing environment which favors a child’s development.
