Abstract

Working memory plays a crucial role in supporting learning, especially in reading and mathematics. According to Allway et al (2009) children with low working memory show little progress these academic areas. Studies of Holmes, Gathercole and Dunnin (2009) investigated these problems and show that academic performance can be improved when working memory is improved. The improvement of working memory is made by means of a specific intervention program designed for this purpose. The index is measured working memory and then is made a specific intervention and at the end of this intervention a new measurement is taken. The proposition in this paper is to reflect on the literature related to the issues outlined above.
