Problem Solving Is Essential With Learning

Working memory is highly correlated with intelligence. Math and science tend to be high element inter activity domains. This is also why mastery of these subjects is seen as being a sign of intelligence. If you're falling behind in a subject, invest in more practice in the underlying skills. Doing this work will make you more fluent in the component kow which freeze up more working memory for handling the new topics.
