The Videos Explain Working Memory Problems
These videos are extremely interesting.
They assert that there are three dimensions to working memory. Processing capacity, which can be worked out by calculating digit span, how many numbers the brain can hold. Processing speed can be worked out by naming the colours of circle as quickly as possible. Complex span uses digit span injected with fast naming of colours i.e. hold a number and then name a colour.
They refer to three reasons for working memory problems arising. It arises because of low memory capacity, slow processing speed and distractions. They suggest that the ability to read relates to memorisation problems, while processing quickly, effectively relates to classroom behaviour.
