Effects of Working Memory Training on Math Development
Abstract: Evidence shows that working memory capacity is linked with fluid intelligence, school performance, and ADHD inattention. This presentation will delve into the evidence showing that working memory can be significantly enhanced through targeted training. The discussion will cover how such training not only enhances connectivity between key brain regions but also leads to a reduction in inattention symptoms. Moreover, it will explore the positive impact of working memory improvements on mathematical learning, while also addressing the notable variability in outcomes between individuals
