If you are not able to 'call' again, meaning can not remember well. Concentration is the ability to pay attention or focus on one thing. Child's ability to concentrate varies according to age. Child's attention span in receiving information through any activity is also different. Attention span of preschool children are affected by many factors that can not be ascertained.

Another way to make the repetition of material delivery, but in creative ways. For example, not only through verbal as well as music can, next to the display of symbols, this will give the impression to the child. To measure the memory and concentration ability of children, can use a standardized IQ test Wechsler approach that can be done at the age of 4 years.
