Learning and Cognition
Week 2 Forum
Working Memory Capacity
As we move into Week 2 and begin to dig deeper into
cognition and learning, we see there are many important topics to discuss this
week and in the weeks to follow! An intriguing topic that affects us all is
that of memory. Working memory, which is often conflated with short-term memory
(STM) is the topic of our forum this week. Our course materials inform us of
the limited capacity of the working memory and the need to essentially flip the
data processed in immediately, transferring it into a meaningful information we
can use to address the issues presented.
Let’s take a moment to review a great Ted Talks video with
speaker Peter Doolittle (2013), who discusses the concept of working memory and
how it influences our day to day activities.
The Working Memory tests linked below provide us with an
excellent opportunity to test our working memory capacity!

For this week’s discussion forum, complete the Working
Memory Capacity Demo provided in the link.
Complete at the working memory tests on each site and
view/summarize your results for each.
Share your results with the group in your initial forum
post.
Discuss how you performed on each test, noting whether your
working memory capacity was significantly greater on one test over the others.
Note why this may have been; did the course materials offer
support to suggest an explanation for your results?
Finally, share your greatest take away from the activity as
it relates to your working memory capacity.
