QUESTION18-Working memory
ANS-There are two types of working memory: auditory memory and visual-spatial memory. You can think of these skills in terms of making a video. Auditory memory records what you're hearing while visual-spatial memory captures what you're seeing. But that's where working memory's similarity with making a video ends.
Imagine a teacher reads a word problem in math class. Kids need to be able to keep all the numbers in their head, figure out what operation to use and create a written math problem at the same time.
Kids with weak working memory skills have difficulty grabbing and holding on to that incoming information. This means they have less material to work with when they're performing a task.
