With that in mind if children were to have a strong start in their development the brain then there would be more chances of them being able to learn and participate in future activities. She mentions that for infants as they are growing up they are able to remember and re-enact actions from memory from an early stage. â€Å"Infants as young as 3 months can reproduce an action up to two weeks after seeing it† (Petersen,2012, p. 12) If infants were to practice and hone their memory skills at an early stage.
