[quote=Anonymous]PP who talked about working memory here.

It's a very fascinating subject.  Working memory and IQ aren't related.  So it's not that it impacts intelligence per se but it will impact how quickly you learn.  My daughter is not high IQ but working memory is amazing.  My son who has the working memory challenge is probably on paper more knowledgeable and "smarter" than her.

Working memory is however affiliated with executive function.  So my 11 yr old daughter can say she studies for a test 2 days before it so that the day before she can study last minute details or if she has questions she can leave herself a day to figure it out.  That's her own planning.  She can take a piano piece and struggle to play it and after 6-7 times she can learn it pretty well.  That's working memory.

I would say that complexity is another very visible trait if someone who is not strong in this - the ability to problem solve and manage a sequence, processing is very equated to working memory.

Gifted kids are typically measured by IQ but they are realizing now that strong processing which is basically working memory also includes gifted.  [/quote]
