I have poor working memory when tested (below average), but am known for "flashes of insight." The difference is that testing uses novel info, and y "insights" rely on learned info. I *don't* learn fast. But once I've learned something, I can manipulate complex models easily and in my head.

I think maybe thisjust isn't really very well understood.

Paper and pencil help a lot. Now, someone go tell DH that. He's forever making verbal lists and expecting me to remember what's on them. wink

(oh, I'm 2e, incidentaly)

DS1: Hon, you already finished your homework
DS2: Quit it with the protesting already!
