AHH.. I'm still coming to grips with the definition of working memory. Excuse me for hijacking yet another thread to understand my son's results.

Maybe this is why my DS claims he doesn't need to study for class, he claims that once he learns a vocabulary and details he KNOWS them and doesn't see the need to look over it again. Maybe he is compensating for his average working memory, by transferring most things to long-term memory. Not sure but it's an interesting theory.
