| Summary: | The working memory refers to the use of temporary storage mechanisms during the performance of more complex tasks. The studies ot this subject show that individual differences in working memory might be related to the classical measurement ot intelligence. Theretore, the present analysis tries to explain that such differences may obey, among other things, the differences in the certain basic cognitive processes such as lhe speed of informative elements identification, or in strategi processes like the rehearsal use. This argument would be appropriate to explain the cases with cognitive deficits. However, the issue about work memory nature -if unitary or multicomponencial- is stili to be solved. |
