- "Life comes at us very quickly, and what we need to do is take that amorphous flow of experience and somehow extract meaning from it." In this funny, enlightening talk, educational psychologist Peter Doolittle details the importance -- and limitations -- of your "working memory," that part of the brain that allows us to make sense of what's happening right now.
TEDTalks is a daily video podcast of the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world's leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes (or less). Look for talks on Technology, Entertainment and Design -- plus science, business, global issues, the arts and much more.

1:23 - 4 components of working memory
1. Stores immediate experiences and a little bit of knowledge.
2. Reaches back into our long term memories and processes it in line with current goals.
3. Working memory capacity leverages.
4. Great for communication and building narratives around conversations.
6:45 - Strategies:
1. We need to repeat/Practice it.
2. Think elaborately and repeatedly.
3. Rather than connecting new to known, we have to connect everything we known to the new and build connections till it becomes meaningful.
4. Use images/ think in images
5 Organization - Structure things we're doing in ways that it makes sense.
6 Support - Use external supports like charts, tables, etc. until it becomes second nature.
9:06 - Take home message
We learn what we process. If we're not processing, we aren't learning.
Wowww... u are so thoughtful
Thank you, a very good method to commit things to memory is to first make it understandable and accessible like how your putting it in a format that is easier to approach so thank you
Mr.Sceptic I thank your from bottom of my heart
i appreciate you. marry me?
Thank you so much for this!!!
I literally have had the five words in his video ingrained into my mind for like 3 years now and I don’t know whyy.
Hahah
I couldn't even have them ingrained for 5 min...
Lol same here now
I remembered those words all the way to the end and I didn't even need them. Now I can't forget them. I do love the idea of driving down a long highway with a forest on one side and Saturn on the other. Listening to music from the radio that uses electrodes while looking in the rear vision mirror and watching my past fade away into the background.
lol me too!!!
I did a memory palace too. 😄
I feel like this is the big issue with people, technology and social media today: people are so preoccupied with recording life, rather than processing/living life in the moment. Great talk.
I concur
i am replying to a comment written 2 years ago have fun and stay cool dude
Still true to this day :'(
This is a fantastic comment. Really hits the nail on the head.
@@williamarmes9978 am replying to a comment read and four years ago have fun and stay cool dude 💕
"If we're not processing life, we're not living it." So true and so cruel😢
What he says at the end is completely true. From what I can tell, most of everyone including myself who remembered those words to the end did so by doing something like painting a bizarre picture including those words, thereby processing them.
Long Covid messed with my working memory. It also gave me a passion for understanding how brains work. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
I still memorized the 5 words: Tree, highway, mirror, Saturn, electrode. I wouldn't want to explain how because I use the most bizarre ways to remember things and that's how I process them haha. Moral of the story is to connect something in your life to the present moment for that moment to have meaning.
Çalışan hafızanın 4 bileşeni vardır.
1. Anlık deneyimleri ve biraz bilgiyi depolar.
2. Uzun süreli hafızamıza geri döner ve mevcut hedefler doğrultusunda işler.
3. Çalışan bellek kapasitesinden yararlanır.
4. İletişim ve konuşmalar etrafında anlatılar oluşturmak için harikadır.
Çalışan hafızanın sınırlı bir kapasitesi olduğundan ondan yararlanarak bazı stratejiler yardımıyla başarıya dönüştürebiliriz.
Stratejiler:
1. Hemen Tekrarlamak (bir saat veya bir hafta sonra değil) - Yazmak, not çıkarmak, tartışmak gibi yollarla sürekli pratik yapmak.
2. Ayrıntılı ve açıklayıcı bir şekilde tekrar tekrar düşünmek.
3. Yeni bilgiyi eski bilgiye bağlamak yerine, bildiğimiz her şeyi yeni bilgiye bağlamalı ve anlamlı hale gelene kadar bağlantılar kurmak.
4. Resimleri kullanmak. Resimlerle yazmak ve resimlerle düşünmek.
5. Organizasyon. Yaptığımız şeyleri bir anlam çıkaraca şekilde planlamak.
6. Destek. Resimler, şemalar, tablolar ile desteklemek.
SONUÇ:
İşlediğimizi öğreniyoruz.
Eğer hayatı işlemiyorsak, yaşamıyoruz demektir.
i couldn't focus on anything he said because i was trying to remember tree, car, highway, saturn, electrode
It's tree, highway, mirror, Saturn and electrode ..
Hi i also have this problem . What wrong with us ?
I created an image and that meant I only had to hold onto one thing
Wow, I love that last sentence at 9:00, the final take home message: What we process, we learn, if we're not processing life, we're not living it.
My short term memory needs links---like I walk into a room and I ask" Why did I come into here?"
I have to walk back into the room where I first had the thought and it seems to be lingering in the air and is picked up by my brain then I can walk back into the room to retrieve why I went into.
It is so much fun getting older----
If you are not processing life, you are not living it. Live your life.
I often go into so called the "Hibernate mode" where I would like to just watch some TVs and more to try and forget about working memory cause they suck, and not feel like enjoying or meaningful. But once I change my mind to somethings more valuable and structured in life, you understand that you are able to process your life and find real drive and dedication to live your life.
Just love TED, and hope to be on stage and share knowledge one day :)
Anybody else get here from a Super learning course on Udemy?
Yeah same here!
Hola fellow Super learners!
Present!
how is ur progress? is there any improvement in the learning speed?
getting started from Super learner
One of the most helpful TED talks I've seen in long time.
i thought he was going to ask what the five words were again at the end of the video
+alejandro ramirez lol
@Luis Castillo Do you still remember the words? xD
Blue Mamba unfortunately 6 years later I do not
It was hard to focus on what he was talking about because i was trying to remember the words for the end of the video!!!
I was ready for that
Short, but straight to the point. I really enjoyed it.
That explains a lot. My god awful working memory coupled with my ADHD is why the world makes little to no sense at all.
Process existence immediately at the moment. "Do I agree with him/What can I learn from him"
Practise
Think elaborately and illustratively
Use imagery and think about in images
Organisation it by finding meaning
Support the change
Process the life
Damn that closing statement was deep
Very helpful talk. every bit. Esp the 5 points solution explained in second half of the talk to improve working memory. THANKS!!!
I usually come to youtube to watch ted talks, as it is faster. but now going to ted back, and take notes from transcript.
Woke up to this new TED talk on my TH-cam feed- breakfast.
Watch Ted talks at 2x the speed. It's so efficient and it never gets boring. One actually focuses on it. Try it guys :)
always do it
184 Electrode Saturn mirror highway tree
Processing is living - live life. Absolutely great quote, simple but delivers volume. Processing is putting in the effort, doing the work, and reflecting on it, but no ones really living anymore because we’d rather skip the effort and delay the reflection bcuz they’re so fascinated with the instant ability to record it - the game use to be “how can I understand this as thoroughly as possible?” but has been lost in translation to “how can I grab as much information as possible?”
When he said 5 words i Just immagined those words as an full image . There is highway , next to it a tree with a mirror on it in the background there is saturn. And electrodes are on the road. I have a good image memmory. So probobly If I wanted I could remmember that for as long as I want.
But at the same time i have problem to remmember other concepts . Like names or phone numbers. Yet i can remmember faces of persons I saw weeks ago for a few seconds.
Nice lol! That was exactly how I pictured it too.
for names - think up a story for the person. with good image memory this should be easy
Am I the only weirdo that remembered the mirror by picturing Vanity Smurf kissing it? I pictured him standing in the middle of the highway with a tree in the middle of it and I didn't picture Saturn nor Electrode, but I remembered them anyway.
I usually remember names by saying to myself I ' they have the same name as ..." and I picture that person. just dont ask me to remember surnames. throws this solution out the window
definitely; for example, a person undergoing a neuro-physiological experiment involving electrodes (word-1) implanted on the scalp or brain, with stimulation causing recall of a memory about driving on the highway(2) in a Saturn (3) automobile, noticing a tree (4) in your rear/side mirror (5).
Has he gave the words, I placed them visually in my mind in various places. The tree just left of center, the highway to my right - there actually was a highway to my right when he was talking - I looked up at the moon and thought of Saturn being beyond it somewhere, etc. I remembered all 5
In fact, over five minutes after finishing the video, I can still remember all five words, in order. I think this is partly due to the fact that I didn’t just hold them in working memory, but created a memory palace of sorts into which I placed them. That said, I think my working memory may be slightly better than average, because I do a lot of transcription work. I transcribe videos, playing them at half speed and typing really fast, pausing as needed. It will take me about two hours to get an accurate transcription of a 30 minute video, because once I have finished transcribing it, I go back and I listen to it again and correct any mistakes I made. Have not done a statistical analysis, but I expect that my accuracy, not counting typos, is about 95% or better. If I type a word wrong, once the typo is corrected it’s an accurate transcription, but occasionally I will miss a word, or even a phrase. That’s the 5%. I catch them on the second listen. But my point is, I do not type each word as it is spoken. I type a few words behind the speaker. I try not to get more than two lines of closed caption text behind, and if I do I will pause the video. But two lines of closed caption text seems to be what I can hold in my memory and transfer through my fingers into a word document, while I’m listening to what I will type in a minute. It does help to be able to type very quickly! I believe it has increased my working memory.
When I was a kid, I had to write poems or paragraphs of prose for penmanship class. This would’ve been about third or fourth grade, when I was learning cursive, and even after that. I don’t remember the exact number of words I can hold in my memory at that time, but it was probably four or five. Meaning that I would read four or five words, and then I would write them, and then I would read the next four or five. I could not go one more word Than whatever the number was. Frustrated me. I’m not quite sure what the number is now, but I’m pretty sure it’s more than four or five! But the reality is, if I’m writing by hand, the number of words I can hold in my working memory is smaller than I’m typing. Typing is so much faster! Especially since I’m over 80 words a minute most of the time. I can only write about 12 words a minute my hand.
I have an alternate extra explanation of why that guy stopped to text, having nothing to do with memory. He simply couldn't read and type when the little screen he was using was bouncing around as he walked. So he stopped to stop the screen from bouncing.
bouncing around? hahaha... :D
You probably are right you know. But this talk was still good on the topic.
As he said in the beginning, the scene could be approached from the multitasking perspective. Multitasking is actually a word for the ability to skillfully bounce our attention from one process to another, the brain is "speed-tasking" so to say, as it is always still focusing on one task at a time. The guy with the phone was simply not into multitasking, or as he said, his working memory was focused on one action.
It's a practical lesson, something you can apply to your daily tasks
Que maravilhosoooo!!!!!!!!!
I remembered by imagining the following... The ELECTRODES in the car igniting and powering the engine of a car which is headed down the HIGHWAY. To the right I see a TREE and from the drivers seat I can see the rear view MIRROR. The car is a SATURN (its a company).
Lol that is much wordier than mine, I told myself that the Electrodes were driving a Saturn down a Highway and Saw a Tree through the rearview Mirror.
Great ending message
"live life"👍
Baddeley's four-component working memory model: the central executive, phonological loop, episodic buffer and visuospatial sketchpad
I still remembered person, women, man, camera, and tv
This is a good way of understanding ADHD inattentive type.
Hi i’m also have ADD but i wonder your opinion . Can you explain it ? For me , after watching this video , i thought my ADD is related with video because I can not retain info and use immediately or think of about use it for long term goal .My mind procrasinate process info and use it
Elaboration - the best memory technique
I was just waiting for him to ask what those five words are😂
ivanalesi Me too, although not exactly like yours. Mine was more of a scenery where i'm not involved in myself.
. that's right
i think you have to live life in your way
Brilliant! Most of us are completely unaware of this concept. Well presented by a very effective speaker!
Great message! Loved this. I admire Ted videos so much! You guys are all doing a great thing.
I forgot what was the 3rd or 4th word on the tree, highway, and mirror I think?
"'If we're not processing life, we're not living it. Live life " ... cool !
What if your working memory is impaired to the extent that its difficult to process immediately what is in front of you by relating to your previous knowledge. What if it takes a lot of time for you to recall your already built knowledge that by the time you recall it you almost loose the track of what is happening at that point of time. If we can’t process what we are seeing and listening immediately , can’t we have meaning in our life?
Prático e esclarecedor! Amei!
в переводе ошибка. Речь идет не о кратковременной памяти, а о рабочей памяти.
Great talk, I finally get why the superlearner course sent me here after reading a bunch of articles from different authors.
why?
did anybody else just kept waiting for him to ask about the five things and just wasted 9min
thank you
Thank you 😉
This was an excellent presentation about epistemology. Specifically Crow Epistemology theory! Fun!
You are Texter could actually be really good at texting and walking but understood that he couldn't see in front of him without holding the phone directly in front of his face which would've blocked his vision and he wouldn't be able to see as he walked so it was safer to stop walking and to text while standing Or he was just lazy and didn't wanna hold his arms up that high...
I'm not saying you're wrong I'm just offering a different point of view as to why people do things...
I would repeat myself but I can't remember what I just said because of my time in the military in 1990 in the middle of the gulf war which the VA in the military simply deny we have memory problems and I keep forgetting to follow it up to find a VA person who actually knows how memory works.
I went to war in 1990 with a photographic memory but came back with a melted camera and unfortunately the VA has gone digital so none of it works
Fantastic talk, and the lecturer is very likeable.
You could say, "Live life and process \\//" ;)
Its funny how when he gave the 5 words to remember that I made it an image in my head. Then he says later to make images in your head...
did the same. Really easy to remember
I am having problem with strong memory its very hard to move on from bad experience I have to force it to go away, but when I remember those detailed memory scene it hurts a lot, also people feel offended that I write all the things and remembered them and taunt them, while this are just normal occurrence, I use it get marks, but I lost many concept, now its hard
For those interested in this subject, you might want to check Thinking Fast and Slow.
excellent, of great vale Peter Doolittle, thank you
i have hd and my latest psych eval said that my working memory was not working so well. the items were getting in their location in the brain (if you repeat the list later verbally I can tell you yes or no 100%).. but the subcortex processing side of this was not woking a fast as it used to. (if I have to figure it out myself - not so good). Also HD affects my hearing which is very very bad too. So in this video... the words were and I heard this: 1 Tree/Tree, 2 Highway/Highway; 3 Mirror/Deer or Year; 4 Saturn/Month; 5 Electrode/couldnt' remember at all anything. So IN ADDITION TO WORKING MEMORY... WE HAVE OTHER ISSUES TOO... LIKE AUDITORY PROCESSING. It's very very hard to do both. I wonder if you try to focus on the memory and then you focus even less on the hearing. Remember the person "texting and walking" that sat down. Couldn't do 2 things at same time?
What is hd ?
Absolutely phenomenon
工作記憶，即對接受到的資訊進行加工的過程，解碼、編碼、譯碼的交互作用區域。
So, how did this relate to the guy on the sidewalk? As opposed to multitasking, how does working memory play into this scenario? I don't know if he ever got around to explaining that.
胖胖的大叔，真可爱。。。
so what were those words for? the tree, highway mirror, Saturn and electrode?
YO Doctor Doolittle!
Vidura Wijerathna Lmfao I thought the same thing hahahaha!!
Translation: You have a brain . Use it . Clap clap. The end.
i always think of our brain as a harddrive and the working memory as the ram.
Or more accurately, long-term memory would be similar to a HDD, short-term memory similar to RAM and working memory would be most like the cache.
JZA ahhhhh.... you're right!
Does anyone else want the speaker to get his doctorate?
I only forgot mirror and ugh primary and recency effects are mocking me
by the time he finished labelling the 5 things I only remembered tree and Saturn
forgot what this video was about...
I'm giving n-back a try. It makes you feel horrible at first but once you progress you feel awesome. I pretty much just started and got to n=4 so far. Anyone with experience care to share fit it helps?
Has n back helped you with working memory?
@@abhishekc3556 Pretty funny that you should ask now. I didn't do it for long enough but just picked it up yesterday again. So I'm afraid I can't give you an answer yet. I feel like I picked it up one or two levels higher though
@@abhishekc3556 Give it a go, it might make you feel uncomfortable but push through.
@@DuDeMBR thanks for the reply. I've just started using the dual n back app. I'm on level 3. Hopefully I get past that.
true, we're replacing or memory with tech, and dumb down doing so
Okay now, so when am I supposed to forget that random list of 5 things? ;-)
Makes video on working memory, forgets to mention the 5 words WE were supposed to remember X-D great vid tho
He did mention them again 😆
ted just be letting anyone talk
A Tree with an Electrode in front of a Mirror on a Highway on Saturn
Working memory has a limited capacity, and can only deal with small chunks at a time. It doesn't help put things together. Long-term memory orders and selects ideas, and feeds it into conscious thought.
nice ending message :)
To correct Peter, a Coma is where you can not respond and lose a great deal of control of the body leaving it in a state of lacking in reaction. Many Coma patients are fully aware of the world around them during their coma. They can hear, understand who is around them, but lack the capacity to interact with this person.
what is the thesis for this video ?
this guy is fucking awesome
Anyone come here thinking it was something about Dr Doolittle
Very nice
what we proses we learn
I dont think that doing this simple word test at home, in a comfy chair is quite the same as beeing in public and exposed to dozens if little distractions of every day life.
I don't think anyone have claimed that
What is the Gospel?
How Did God Save Mankind From His Own Destruction?
How Do We Know How He Wants Us To Be?
Imagine how people were 5,000 years ago without any Bible. How would they have known how they were supposed to live? How would they have known how they were supposed to be in order to please their Creator? So God gave the law back then. This law was for the people to know how to be. They saw what God expected out of them. God had high expectations from the Israelites. Why shouldn't He? Should He drop His expectations for love? Grace? If He drops His expectations to accommodate what we want, then He compromised His perfection for our imperfection. Does a Perfect God compromise His perfection? If He compromises His perfection, what would happen to His kingdom?
So God has expectations once He tells His Creation how He wants things. He is loving and graceful to give His Creation time to change. He is willing to help them change if they ask Him. Then His Creation, while repenting or changing, to do His will, see His Beauty. This is a relationship formed now with the Creator. If He is the Most Beautiful Being, which He is because He is Perfect, how can His Creation not want to repent? How can His Creation not want to please Him? The reason why is because of foolishness. Man likes his own foolishness rather than perfect wisdom. That's why Jesus says man likes his own darkness rather than the light, Jn 3:19. Man loves his sin. If anyone loves himself, he will stay in sin. So man who stays in sin rejects his perfect Creator or Father, and exchanges it for his own stupidity, his own catastrophe.
So now fast forward to today where we have the Bible. We officially know what God wants. God gave His Creation a big help, the Word, to show us how He wants us to live. If we follow His perfect teachings, we all live with perfect peace, love, joy and unity. Since He is Love, this is what He wants for us. This is what He destined His Creation for. This is His perfect design for His children's lives. When we go against His perfect design for what we want, sin, we throw away that perfect plan. We throw away that perfect peace, love, joy and unity. Giving up these things is foolish. So sinning against God proves to be foolishness!
God wanted to help mankind. God wanted to save man from his foolishness. He wanted to help us the best way. The best and only way to do it, as God saw fit, was to give mankind His Son. Why? The Son is the Word. The Word always obeys the Father's will. The Father's will is spoken through His Word. The Word proceeds forth from the Father's will and mind. So the Word that God speaks is the pure sequel to what was inside the Father's mind and heart. Jesus is that perfection manifest. He is the physical embodiment of God's will and thought. God's will and thought is expressed through His Word. Jesus, the human part, is the perfect, physical expression of God. Jesus, the human part that walked this earth, came to teach us the perfect will of God. How? He did this by example. We know this because Jesus was water baptized for the remission of sins. Yet He had no sins. So this proves He did it to show us His every day moves, are how we are to live. And every second of Jesus' life on earth, fulfilled God the Father's will.
So Jesus taught us. He even was willing to die not only death, but the death He did not deserve. He chose to. That's why Jesus says no man forces Him to lay down His life, He chose to lay it down. God wanted to save mankind. Jesus wants what the Father wants. The Word always obeys the will. He shed even His perfect, pure blood for us. His blood is the fulfillment of perfect obedience to the Father. Why? Because the Son asked 3 times in the Garden, "Take my cup not by my will but by yours." The Father said the Son still had to shed His blood. So the Son obeyed the Father's will over His own. So the blood was shed for that purpose. Nobody else had that kind of blood. Nobody else on this earth pleased the Father perfectly like the Son.
So now instead of the Mosaic law showing us the way to live rightly in God's eyes, we have the Son. This is the New Covenant. In Jesus and His blood, we now obey Him instead of the Mosaic law as part of this new agreement between man and God. So as man wants to live rightly to please His Creator, man now must turn to the Word of the Creator. So obeying the teachings of Jesus brings us to how God wants us to live. If we disobey His teachings, then we are out of God's will.
Can anyone be saved if they continue to live outside God's will? Never! That would mean God is compromising His perfection! That's why Jesus says, "Not everyone who calls me Lord, Lord will enter the kingdom of heaven, only those that do the will of my Father," Mt 7:21.
Obey Jesus. His blood cleanses us from sin, which is foolishness. Blood was shed from the Word. Why? What was the reason? The reason is because the Word obeyed the Father perfectly unto death. That blood is the fulfillment of perfect obedience from a man to God. Nobody else fulfilled that desire from God the Father, except the Son as He manifest as a man. So the Son saved man from his own destruction, foolishness. Should any man turn to the Son as His Lord, obey Him, submit to His will, then that man truly accepts that blood shed. That blood was shed in order to prove love to the Father. That blood was also shed to prove love to man, to also teach man out of that love, in the hopes man would never perish but have everlasting life. God wants you to have life perfectly with Him now and forever. Will you accept His Son? Will you believe in the Word? If you truly believe in the Word, you will obey the Word. Then when you obey the Word, you prove to truly follow the Word. And the Word's blood washes you as you walk in the Light, His perfect wisdom, 1 Jn 1:7.
The Son conquered the grave. The grave was the end of all who sin. The grave is the payment for sin. Satan created the grave. Satan created death. How? How can Satan create at all? Because Satan started death by being the first to sin against Almighty God. Satan is the founder of death! Jesus destroyed Satan's creation and fulfills the very first prophecy spoken of the Savior in Genesis 3:15. That's why Jesus came to "...destroy the works of the devil," 1 Jn 3:8. Satan came to ruin God's Creation with sin. Jesus came to ruin Satan's creation through perfect obedience, which is the blood. That's why in His blood, there is life. There is no grave in the Lamb's blood. Accept His blood, His sacrifice, by now drinking that blood as He says to in Jn 6:54. So the Gospel is God's reconciliation with man. How? Only through the Son. If you disobey the Son, you reject the blood. ''"They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate," Titus 1:16. If you reject the blood, you reject the love of God. If you reject the love of God, you reject God for He is love. If you reject God, He will reject you.
Turn from your ways and turn to the Son, the only way to the Father. The Son of God, Jesus, is the only acceptable way into God's will. Once in His will, you can have beautiful life with Him, through the Son, forever. God bless you all. Amen.

the tap is more testy than bottled water
Amazingg talk!!! Loved it!
the doctors said my working memory is better then 97 people out of 100.
So is mine, but only 50% of the time
***** Heyy, Baud. How nice to see you over here :)
Get to the part when you talk to animals
What is the difference between working memory and short-term memory?
Short term memory is where you store a small amount of information that's in an active, ready, state. You don't manipulate anything in short-term memory, or really do anything with it. Working memory is like a notepad in your brain- this is where you manipulate information and put concepts together. Working memory can retain a little information- but it's not for storage purposes. If you want a metaphor, your working memory is a desk, short term memory is the small filing cabinet underneath it, and long term is the archive that's in the other room.
i agree, but some people are born with good memory so lucky THEM :)
There is a gigantic tree crossed by a highway. At the end there is a mirror reflecting Saturn supported by a electrode
The best working memory game is dual n back and the best version of dual n back that I have become so addicted to is the "Brain training chess" app. It is available on iphone and ipad, check it out

good
Working memory - скорее рабочая память, не кратковременная. Не обязательно кратковременная.

how to improve our working memory ?
