My son has almost no working memory, dyslexia and dyspraxia. I'm trying to find best ways to help him be successful with learning to read and be more successful with communicating.
Really interesting video thanks a lot for sharing. :) So is this concept of working memory the same as in cognitive load theory? The selecting and reorganising of important information?
I guess maybe the reason they moved Megan way over to the left side of the screen, and left a big blank space to the right, is because they thought they might want to put some words on the right-hand side of the screen, to go along with what she's saying. Which would have been a great idea, actually: some text to reinforce the distinction between the three kinds of memory Megan talks about here.
That actually would have created cognitive overload for the viewer! To be honest, the reason I'm sitting there and there's white space is I'm trying to record this in my dining room... and there's a window there we needed to keep out! We're just a couple of academics creating content to teach others for free (no advertising, at least not from us, we don't make money off of these). We don't have a pretty studio or extra time for editing! -- Megan
This is not an exaggeration in anyway. I have DISTINCT memories going back to me being 2 years old. But at the same time I misplace my keys/phone/wallet 3-4 times a day. I have lost 9 cell phones but remember all the text and numbers. I can recall sentences said by someone word for word from like 15 years ago, but lose my wallet at the same time. A good metaphor would be I have a long term memory of elephant but the short term memory as a gold fish. Can anyone share a hypothesis or link to help me out? Also, I never forget a face NEVER, but when someone first tells me their name. 5 out of 7 times I will not remember there name when they first introduce themselves.
@@mattheweraci5502 The answer is nuanced! But basically, confidence and vividness does not mean accuracy. So, I suspect the memories from 2 years old are just remembering being told stories and filling in gaps. We often think we remember things verbatim when we don't. Misplacing things like keys, phone, and wallet has more to do with attention, most likely. You may enjoy 7 sins of memory by Dan Schacter.
I'm sorry you feel that way. There really is no way for me to give you a personalized answer, and I have suggested some resources where you can dig into this yourself and explore the aspects that you want to explore. This is just what the research suggests. I hope it is helpful.

Thank you!!
attentional control-good ideas

There is a lot of information on our website about improving learning and memory. I suggest you search the blog. Go to www.learningscientists.org.
@@thelearningscientists Can you just tell me the answer?

@@thelearningscientists All the 2 year old memories. I AM the one who reminds them. To suggest memory gaps is pretty condescending

Why do I inconsistently remember a maximum of 11 digits?
Thanks :)
" we will try to answer them " i think you forgot to reply :(
I go to sleep when i listen this woman...sorry to say
So in other words, working memory is short-term mental multitasking...
And that's why IQ reflects elementary learning ability, and not a sole indicator of actual problem solving ability.
