“…Consequently, 2-year-olds are limited in their ability to hold information in sensory and short-term memory (Glass, Sachse, & von Suchodoletz, 2008; Pelphrey & Reznick, 2002), inhibit automatic responses (Garon et al, 2008), sustain focused attention (Ruff & Capozolli, 2003), and delay gratification (Carlson, 2005; Kochanska, Murray, & Harlan, 2000; Kochanska, Murray, Jacques, Koenig, & Vandegeest, 1996). Fourth, they are able to hold fewer items in short-term memory than older peers (Pelphrey & Reznick, 2002) and are only beginning to exhibit use of working memory (Call, 2001; Collier-Baker & Suddendorf, 2006; Corrigan, 1981; Ross, Boatright, Auld, & Nass, 1996; Triana & Pasnak, 1986). Fifth, their language is less complex than that of older peers (Bates, Dale, & Thal, 1995).…”
