[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It depends on how low, and how low in comparison with the verbal and non verbal cognitive ability.
 A major discrepancy could indicate a learning disability or a global issue like ADD. 
Many gifted students have average processing. [b]A low working memory also has significant implications for classroom learning-- as much or more so than processing[/b]. [/quote]

What do teachers do for/with students will low working memory?[/quote]

It depends on whether there is a mandate (e.g. an IEP for a learning disability) for them to do anything. A below average working memory could indicate a learning disability.

A low working memory can affect test taking, learning to read, mental math, etc.

I think that people with working memory issues have to commit things to long term memory- I don't know the strategies, but it's what I've read. [/quote]

Yes, PP I agree with your statement.  DS has a moderate working memory deficit along with ADHD and this makes it challenging when studying for tests where memorization of facts is a key component of the test.  Which is actually most tests now that I think of it.  It takes a lot of time and epetition for information to "stick" - and be stored into long term memory.

Still trying to figure out what the best study strategy is for him :(
