Working memory can be thought of as our shortest term memory; it's the information we hold in our mind in order to get things done. 

These are some common ways working memory deficits show up in our day to day lives:

  • Having to dig a box mix out of the trash several times to re-read steps when baking
  • Walking into a room but forgetting why you're there
  • Forgetting a new acquaintance's name seconds after you've heard it

If any of these sounds familiar, you can join us today for a discussion on working memory; what it is and how to support your brain if you struggle in this area!
