Memory Training for Students

For students of all ages, with and without learning or attentional difficulties working memory is a crucial asset in the classroom. Math, reading and the processes we use to internalize information are utterly dependent on a healthy working memory capacity. Without working memory, learning could not take place. In her book, Working Memory and Learning: A Practical Guide for Teachers, Dr. Susan Gathercole a renowned expert from the University of York, calls working memory “the engine of learning” because it has shown to be the primary indicator of academic performance.

High school, college and graduate students determine their future in large part by their performance on standardized tests such as the SAT, ACT, GMAT, LSAT and MCAT. Lasting several hours, these tests require students to focus at a very high level, meticulously manage their time and perform well under pressure. To do so effectively, students need strong working memory. In a testing environment, working memory is what allows the student to quickly recall information, make mathematical and logical computations and stay focused as a time limit approaches.
