The Importance of Working Memory in Daily Life
Working memory is a crucial function that enables individuals to sequence actions over a short period of time and then intentionally discard that sequence. It is involved in almost every cognitive and motor activity from the moment a person wakes up until they go to sleep. Tasks such as tying shoes, making coffee, or planning a jogging route heavily rely on working memory. Individuals with diminished or no working memory struggle to sequence activities and require significant assistance in their daily lives. Working memory is closely tied to attention and plays a vital role in allowing individuals to navigate their immediate environment in an adaptive and functional manner.
