IMPROVING WORKING MEMORY: SUPPORTING STUDENTS’ LEARNING
Book ID/图书代码： 10350014B69325
English Summary/英文概要： Your working memory is the information your brain stores for a short period of time, it is your brain’s ’post-it note’ if you like, and how much information you can remember has a huge influence on how well you do at school, and beyond.
By understanding a child’s working memory, you will be able to support his/her learning and concentration at school, and their concentration. Better working memory can be particularly useful to children with conditions where poor working memory is thought to be an underlying factor. Such conditions include:
- dyslexia
- dyscalculia
- speech and language difficulties
- developmental co-ordination disorders (motor dyspraxia)
- attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
- autistic spectrum disorders.
This book explains how to spot problems early and how to work with children to improve their working memory, therefore increasing their chances of success in the classroom. It also explains the theory behind working memory.
Underpinned by rigorous research and written in a highly accessible style, this book will appeal to practitioners, parents and students as an essential guide to helping their students fulfil their maximum potential.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 你的工作记忆是你的大脑储存的短时间内的信息，或者可以说它是你大脑的“便利贴”，你可以记住多少信息对你在学校的的表现有很大影响。
通过了解孩子的工作记忆，你将能够帮助他/她在学校的学习和注意力，以及他们本身的注意力。更好的工作记忆对于孩子在一些恶劣的工作记忆被认为是潜在因素的情况下特别有用。这些情况包括：
- 诵读困难
- 计算障碍
- 语音和语言上的困难
- 发展性协调障碍（电机运动障碍）
- 注意缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）
- 自闭症谱系障碍。
这本书介绍了如何在早期发现问题，以及如何与孩子们合作，以提高他们的工作记忆，从而提高在课堂上成功的机会。本书也介绍了工作记忆背后的理论。
由严谨的研究支撑，非常容易接受的写作风格，这本书作为帮助学生实现他们最大潜能的重要指导，将吸引从业人员，家长和学生。(LNL)

About the Author/作者介绍： 特雷西•派克埃姆•阿罗维博士是达勒姆大学的高级研究心理学家。她对工作记忆如何影响学习非常感兴趣。“工作记忆”指的是短时间内存储和操纵信息的能力。她曾在大型政府的资助下就小学适龄儿童做了数个研究，找出患有工作记忆障碍的儿童常在课堂活动失败的原因。她的工作表明，工作记忆能力可以预测以后在阅读和数学上的成就。了解孩子的工作记忆是提供适当学习帮助的关键，她目前正在参与一项纵向研究，来为患有工作记忆障碍的儿童制定相应的干预措施。此外，她正在开展若干项目，以了解记忆如何影响患有神经发育障碍的儿童的学习，例如注意缺陷与多动障碍（ADHD），发展性协调困难（动作协调障碍），以及计算障碍（数学困难）。
在她的研究过程中，她曾与教育专业人士，包括教育心理学家，学习支援协调员，任课教师，言语和语言治疗师一起合作。除了创作了许多有关孩子如何学习的学术文章，她还与人合编了一本有关发育障碍的书。她针对工作记忆障碍开发了一个计算机筛选工具，《自动化的工作记忆评估》已被翻译成10种语言。
Tracy Packiam Alloway, Ph.D., is a senior research psychologist based at the University of Durham. She is interested in how working memory affects learning. ’Working memory’ refers to the ability to store and manipulate information for a short period of time. She has conducted several large-scale
government-funded studies on primary-aged children to find out why children with working memory impairments often fail in classroom activities. Her work has shown that working memory ability predicts later achievement in reading and mathematics. Understanding a child’s working memory profile is critical for providing appropriate learning support and she is currently involved in a
longitudinal study to develop appropriate intervention for children with memory problems. In addition, she is carrying out several projects to understand how memory affects learning in children with neurodevelopmental disorders such as Attentional Deficit with Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Developmental Coordination Difficulties (Dyspraxia), and Dyscalculia (Mathematical difficulties).
During the course of her research, she has worked with educational professionals, including educational psychologists, learning support coordinators, classroom teachers, and speech and language therapists. In addition to authoring numerous academic articles on how children learn and co- edited a book on developmental disorders, she has developed a computerised
screening tool for working memory impairments, Automated Working Memory Assessment, that has been translated into ten languages.
