Younger children use their working memory for a number of things, such as focusing on and following instructions, and remaining seated to complete independent activities. Working memory is crucial for children and adolescents in school and socially. Reading, solving math problems, planning, and following a conversation all rely on working memory.. Working memory in adult and professional life is critical for challenges such as planning, focusing, resisting distraction, and meeting deadlines.
