Working Memory and Learning During the School Years
Working Memory and Learning During the School Years
Joint British Academy/British Psychological Society Lecture
This lecture discusses the concept of working memory, which is the capacity to hold material in mind and to manipulate it for brief periods of time. It reveals that there is enough evidence that working memory plays a very important role in supporting many important aspects of learning during childhood. It is also suggested that impairments in learning result directly from failures to meet the working memory demands of many activities in the classroom.
