Working Memory

Working memory is a skill used to retain information as we work through a task. Working memory is used in the following examples: completing a math problem, playing a game, having a conversation, cooking, and taking notes in class. Working memory is used throughout many daily activities and occupational therapists can address this skill in order to promote independence in individuals of all ages.
