    Title: Putting Working Memory to Work to Support Student Learning

    Date: Friday, November 15, 2024 from 2:00 - 3:00 pm ET. 

    Presented by
    : Rick Bryck, Ph.D., Senior Director, Landmark College Institute for Research and Training (LCIRT) 

    Description: Working Memory (WM) is considered a fundamental executive function. It serves as a gatekeeper to information processing and thus knowledge acquisition. This session will review fundamental attributes of WM, including its limitations, connections to learning, and the related concept of “cognitive load” (i.e., how we fill WM). Differentiating between positive and negative contributions to a learning activity's cognitive load will be discussed. An emphasis will also be placed on how to scaffold WM by providing strategies for efficient use of this limited, yet crucial, component of learning–especially for students with executive function challenges.

    Learning Objectives:
