Working memory is the key to overcoming learning disabilities.

Working memory plays a crucial role in helping children perform a variety of activities at school.
From following the teacher's directions to writing down and solving problems written on the board, almost every activity that takes place in class requires information processing skills that utilize working memory.
In particular, in the classroom, situations frequently arise where the two basic elements of working memory must be used: verbal working memory (words/language/numbers) and visuospatial working memory (shapes/patterns/number lines). However, some children have difficulty keeping up with their studies because they are unable to properly utilize their working memory.
It is known that approximately 10 percent of children in a class have working memory impairment.
Working memory deficits lead to learning difficulties.

Working memory, early diagnosis, and early intervention are important.

Working memory capacity continues to increase until age 30, but increases most significantly during the first decade of life.
Increasing working memory capacity means that more information can be processed in our mental memo.
However, if working memory is not properly developed during the first 10 years of life, that is, during infancy and childhood, the resulting learning deficits accumulate and become uncontrollable.
Research has also shown that without intervention and support in this area from a young age, academic achievement declines as children get older.


The authors of the previous work, “Understanding and Overcoming Learning Difficulties Depend on Working Memory,” argued that early diagnosis of working memory is necessary to prevent learning difficulties caused by working memory deficits.
Unlike IQ, which is influenced by parents' education level and home environment, working memory can be improved by anyone. Therefore, if working memory is corrected and capacity is increased through early diagnosis and intervention, even children with learning difficulties can easily keep up with their studies.
The growing number of teachers and parents reporting improved academic performance after receiving working memory support offers new hope and hope to those who have been working to help children with learning difficulties and disabilities.


A workbook that utilizes various elements of working memory.

The "Working Memory Improvement Workbook to Increase Learning Potential" contains six activities that help improve working memory in children ages 7 to 12.
'Number recall', which involves hearing a series of numbers and then saying them in reverse order, allows you to train both verbal short-term memory and verbal working memory.
Listening to words and arranging them in order by attribute, from largest to smallest and from longest to short, improves the ability to store and utilize auditory information for a short period of time.
We also designed the coloring activity that children enjoy to be combined with working memory so that children can train in stages with increasing difficulty.
Through playful arrangements of furniture and shapes, children practice paying attention and processing multiple instructions.
Additionally, through activities such as navigating the road using cars and motorcycles, children develop their ability to store information in their heads while also acquiring a sense of direction and distance.


This book was born from listening to the sorrows and complaints of domestic experts who complained that there were few working memory training books for children.
This book, which contains the efforts of author David Newman, who has personally created working memory activity materials for many years and met children in the field, provides a time for reflection for adults who have blamed their children for their inattention, and gives confidence to children who have blamed themselves, saying, "Why can't I do this?" that "I can do it too."
The "Working Memory Improvement Workbook that Increases Learning Potential" will provide valuable time to develop your child's learning ability.
