Put Working Memory to Work in Learning

February 12, 2015  Donna Wilson, Ph.D.

Developer of Masters and Ed.S. Degree Programs in Brain-Based Teaching

An excerpt:

“Working memory involves the conscious processing and managing of information required to carry out complex cognitive tasks such as learning, reasoning, and comprehension. It has been described as the brain’s conductor. Memory has long been viewed as a key aspect of learning, but as the emphasis in educational standards has shifted away from rote memorization and toward the knowledge and skills needed to process new information, working memory is increasingly taking center stage.”
