Is your child's memory faulty?

As many as 10 percent of school age children may suffer from poor working memory, yet the problem remains rarely identified."Some psychologists consider working memory to be the new IQ because we find that working memory is the single most important predictor of learning,"
Defects in working memory may explain why one child cannot read his history book and another gets lost in her algebra, new research suggests.It is important to identify the problem early so memory training can be implemented.The child should not be considered dull witted or lazy.Children can be taught ways to function better in school.There are programs being devised to help these children.
