✰ A student with poor working memory will not ‘catch up’ with their<br />

peers. Without intervention, they will continue to struggle in all areas of learning.<br />

In a recent study, I found that teenagers who were diagnosed with low working<br />

memory two years earlier were still performing very poorly in school compared to<br />

their peers.<br />

✰ Working Memory CAN be trained! Brain training is a growing and exciting new<br />

area in scientific research. In particular, there is a lot of evidence of the brain’s<br />

plasticity: that it can actually change-shrink or grow-depending on what we do. In<br />

my own research, I have found that an adaptive training program, Jungle<br />

Memory, boosts Working Memory, IQ, and learning outcomes.WATCH.<br />
