IDeA – project MEMO

All learning endeavours of students are based upon the ability to receive and process information and access it at a later point in time. The use of strategies is one cognitive process that can intentionally be applied to memorise and recall information. For school related learning in particular, it is important to know what strategies are, how they develop and when they can be used in order to improve learning. Dependent on the demand at hand and the age of the children, strategies are used with varying degrees of competency and flexibility.

The project MEMO aims to assess developmental paths in the use of language-based learning strategies. Children with their individual strengths and weaknesses in learning might also differ in their use of learning strategies which are meant to assist them in recalling information. By assessing the use of learning strategies in children with and without learning difficulties, we intend to  gain insights into which of the strategies can possibly compensate for difficulties in learning and recalling information.
