Understanding Working Memory for Improving LearningEditor IJCATR
A web-based working memory (WM) test system is a management system website that allows students to test their ability
and skills in remembering visual patterns. It also enables you to record and store the data for individuals. The system is developed
using HTML, PHP and MySQL as a database system to manage and store the data. The system targets several users: children and
adults who suffer from attention deficit or learning problems. The main objectives for developing the website are to educate the
community on the benefits of performing the working memory test of the activity of the brain and improvements in social skills and
improving poor academic and professional performance, especially in maths and reading comprehension. This study implements a set
of tasks, testing 59 adults aged 18-24 years of age at King Abdul-Aziz University for testing and measuring WM and cognitive
abilities. Results showed tests depended on the age entry by the user. The implications of the test results will help people know their
WM level before ascertaining the appropriate suggestions, and to make the test suit our society.

Presenter: Randy Kulman, President, LearningWorks for Kids
Video games can improve a variety of cognitive skills such as attention, fluid reasoning, and processing speed. Recent studies have also demonstrated how playing selected video games can directly improve executive functioning and social emotional learning skills, keys for problem solving, collaboration, and self control. This presentation will review the research connecting video game play and improvements seen on skills such as cognitive flexibility, working memory, and social awareness. In addition, it will identify dozens of popular games including Minecraft, Portal 2, and Angry Birds where executive and SEL skills are practiced. Then the presentation will identify methods for transforming game-based skills into real world competencies. Specific previewing, metacognitive, and generalization strategies that optimize skill development from game play will be explored. Suggestions for game publishers for modding popular games and embedding generalization strategies in order to improve executive functioning and SEl skills into games will be discussed.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

6. Working memory is key for academic
performance
Working memory refers to a brain system that provides temporary storage
and manipulation of the information necessary for such complex cognitive
tasks as language comprehension, learning and reasoning.
(Baddeley, 1992)
Associated with reading (Gathercole & Pickering, 2000) and mathematic
(Geary et al., 2004) ability
10-15% of all students have working memory deficits
(Alloway et al., 2009)
Children with poor working memory make poor academic progress
•Of 300 children with poor working memory (Gathercole & Alloway, 2008):
o 83% scored poorly on either reading or maths tests
the vast majority of these scored poorly in both areas

14. Cogmed in Brief
Cogmed Working Memory Training is a program that helps children
and adults with attention problems focus better: improving WM
Five days a week for five weeks of computer-based training sessions;
supervised by a coach, trained by Cogmed
80% of Cogmed users see improvements – both in research and in
clinical evaluations
Backed by peer-review published research
The effects are substantial and lasting
Cogmed training works because it is focused, rigorous, and
supported
15. The Cogmed method for improving working
memory
The Training Programmes
Cogmed RM
Cogmed QM
Cogmed JM
Cogmed Coach Training
Coach support
Cogmed Training Web: start trainings and follow training
results
Material to support the coach in coaching
Support to coaches (technical and related to coaching)
16. How do you train your working memory with
Cogmed?
Intense training
25 training sessions
30-45 min per session
No settings needed
The difficulty level will automatically adjust based
on the performance of the users, so that they will
always train on the limits of their working memory
capacity
17. Three versions of the software
Cogmed JM Cogmed RM Cogmed QM
Pre-school children School-age children Adolescents and
adults
All three versions of the Cogmed software share the same
underlying design – the difference is in the user interface
18. The Cogmed Training Web
An online tool for the Cogmed Coach to follow and analyse trainings
Is the user training at
his/her optimal level?
Where did the user miss trials?
What time of the
day did the training
take place? How
often is the user
taking breaks?
21. Improvements from Cogmed Working
Memory Training
Double-blind placebo-controlled studies published in peer-
reviewed journals, show that Cogmed training improves:
Attention
Impulse control
Mathematics
Following instructions
23 studies published on Cogmed to date, both by the
Cogmed founders but also by fully independent research
teams. More than 50 ongoing and 40 planned studies.
22. Summary Of Research Findings
WM is key to attention and learning
WM can be improved by training, using right tool and protocol: Cogmed
WM can be improved by training in all age ranges
Training-related improvement can be shown on three levels of assessment: fMRI/PET,
neuropsychological testing and rating scales
Improved WM generalizes to improvements in daily functioning
Improvements in WM and behavioural outcomes are sustained at 6 months post training
Effects of WM training are specific: WM and its derived functions are improved, but there
is no across-the-board-improvement
Training effects have substantial real world impact on individuals impaired by their WM
capacity
23. Research
Cogmed is the most widely used working
memory training program in research.

Anyone constrained by their working
memory
1. Born with a deficit
2. Acquired a deficit through
brain injury or disease
3. Developed a deficit
through natural decline
caused by age
Experiencing a bottleneck due to WM
overload
