    Ep. 26 - Working Memory
    Jan 27 2023

    Hello and welcome to the Less Is More Education Podcast with your Host Steve Flores where I review the research that is most relevant to pedagogy and education policy to help teachers in their on-going learning.

    Today I review the seminal article Working Memory by Alan Baddeley. Working memory is a model of memory for short-term memory storage and manipulation. Listen to hear how working memory can help you leverage your students minds for better instruction.

    Baddeley, A. (1992). Working memory. Science, 255(5044), 556-559.
