Description:

Working memory is one of the brain’s executive functions. It is a special kind of memory that allows us to hold onto information for a brief period of time while doing something else.

It allows us to work with information without losing track of it. Working memory plays an important role in the types of things that children are asked to do in school every day. Without good working memory, you may not seem as capable as you really are.

This workshop will provide background information about the nature of working memory, its importance in learning, how to recognize working memory failure, techniques for supporting working memory in the classroom, as well as ways to compensate for working memory weaknesses.
