Have you ever gone to the store without a list, thinking you’ll remember everything you need…but discovered when you got home that you forgot several items? If so, you’ve experienced the limitations of working memory. Working memory is the mental sticky note we use to keep track of information until we need to use it.Working memory is the cognitive function responsible for keeping information online, manipulating it, and using it in your thinking. It allows us to use new and learned information while we are in the middle of an activity. We use our working memory constantly in daily life helping us to perform efficiently and effectively in academic, professional, and social settings.If a child has poor working memory, he will not be able to perform well at school and has poor attention or easily distracted. The impact is even more prominent among ADD and ADHD kids. As for adults, poor working memory will affect working performance as individuals may find it hard to meet deadlines at work and prioritizing multiple tasks at one time.If you suspect that your child has an attention or working memory issue, come and find out more at our upcoming Brain Health Talk on “Effective Strategies to Improve Brain Health & Memory (for children & adults)” This talk is suitable for:1.
