Munro's Incremental Theory

Munro's Incremental Theory suggests that memory and language abilities develop gradually over time through ongoing practice and experience. As children grow, they build on their existing knowledge, refining their understanding and skills step by step. For example, a child's vocabulary expands incrementally as they are exposed to new words and use them repeatedly. This approach emphasizes that learning is a cumulative process, where progress results from continuous, incremental improvements rather than sudden leaps, allowing children to develop language and memory skills steadily through everyday interactions and activities.
