Working memory
Memory powers IQ tests
Working memory helps you hold rules, compare options, and avoid losing the thread.
Quick answer
The short version
Working memory is the mental workspace that keeps rules and details active while you solve a problem. If it overloads, reasoning can look worse than it really is.
How to use it
1
Reduce unnecessary information.
2
Chunk long sequences.
3
Rehearse the rule before checking options.
4
Practice with gradually longer tasks.
