Other important factors to consider:
• Age - Younger children may forget things at a faster rate compared to older children.
• Individual differences - Learning styles and motivation vary between children, impacting how well they retain information.
• Learning Environment - A supportive and engaging classroom environment can significantly influence knowledge retention.
