What is working memory and
why is it important?
Working memory is an executive function that allows the brain to store information for a short time then allows a person to manipulate the information to complete tasks, solve problems, and answer questions. Research shows that poor working memory underlies problems with inattention and learning and is a key indicator of academic success or failure.*
Children with poor working memory struggle to stay focused and often find their minds wandering. In school, they may not listen, blurt out answers without being called on, and distract others. Their grades are often poor and they can have difficulty learning, especially reading and math, even when giving their best effort.
