Scene 37-3: Time spent thinking is the development of intellectual function

Afternoon free play. 5-year-old class.
I-kun, who was building a giant maze with blocks, suddenly stopped.

"Hmm... where was the entrance again?"

Seeing this, the childcare worker nearby calls out to him.
"Try to remember how you moved through it earlier."

After thinking for a moment, I-kun says,
"Uh, turn here... jump here... oh, I got it!" and restarts.

Next to them, another child is lining up hiragana cards and
happily confirms with the childcare worker, "This reads 'apple', right?"

In the evening, during a reflection session between childcare workers, one muttered,
"The power to remember and the power to think don't all decline or grow at the same rate depending on age, do they?"

Which of the following is correct regarding the development of intellectual function as understood from this?

Quiz

Working memory is the function of temporarily remembering, manipulating, and reorganizing information necessary for thinking and solving problems, and it declines after middle age.

Childcare points

The power to think is composed of multiple functions such as inspiration, memory, and knowledge.
The sight of a child stopping to think is the process of using working memory.

Intellectual abilities do not grow in the same way; they develop at different rhythms.
Also, there are abilities that continue to grow even after maturity depending on environment and experience.

Therefore, it is important not to judge "can or cannot" solely by age,
but to look at which abilities are being used.

The childcare worker's involvement nurtures that "way of thinking" in daily life.
