Cognitive Neuroscience Approach

• The cognitive neuroscience approach in infancy merges cognitive psychology and neuroscience to explore how infants' brains develop and relate to their cognitive abilities. Researchers use brain imaging to observe brain activity during cognitive tasks, shedding light on early brain development and cognition.
• "Implicit memory" refers to unconscious recall, typically involving habits and skills. It's like when you automatically tie your shoes without consciously remembering the steps. This type of memory is often referred to as procedural memory because it involves remembering how to do things rather than recalling specific facts or events.
• "Explicit memory" refers to intentional and conscious memory, typically involving facts, names, and events. It's like when you deliberately recall the name of a friend or a specific event from your past. Explicit memory is the type of memory you actively try to retrieve and can articulate consciously.
• "Working memory" is like your brain's notepad where you jot down information temporarily while actively processing it. It's the short-term storage system that holds information you're currently using or thinking about. So, when you're solving a math problem in your head, the numbers you're working with are held in your working memory until you finish the task.
