For: Teachers, Teaching Assistants
Aim: This webinar will provide you with a detailed understanding of how working memory – the ability to hold a limited amount of information in our minds and work with it for a short period of time – is integral to the formation of long-term memory and therefore to the whole process of learning.
Why this webinar’s important: Many learners can struggle with working memory and memory overload, as well as what’s termed cognitive load (the amount of information we can usefully deal with at any one time). It’s massively helpful for educators to have a full understanding how the human brain’s ability to process and recollect information works – and how, in classroom situations, tasks can be broken down and segmented to help ensure that working memory is indeed being used to facilitate long-term learning.
