The video discusses the limitations of working memory and strategies to effectively utilize it, emphasizing the importance of processing, rehearsing, and organizing information to enhance learning and understandingbrbrHighlights:br00:58 Working memory is essential for conscious awareness and self-recognition, enabling us to store direct experiences and a small amount of knowledge, impacting our ability to achieve current goals effectivelybr -Working memory allows us to access and utilize memory and knowledge to meet our current objectives, influencing storytelling, standardized test performance, writing skills, and deep questioning abilitiesbr -Engaging in a working memory exercise involving remembering five words and answering questions demonstrates the limited capacity of working memory and its significance in cognitive functionbr -The challenge of retaining and recalling information highlights the importance of working memory in processing various ideas encountered in environments like TED talks, aiding in navigating fast-paced life demands effectivelybr04:17 Working memory is crucial for processing information, allowing us to understand our experiences and interact with the world, but it has limitations in terms of capacity and duration, impacting our daily activities and decision-makingbr -The constraints of short-term memory, limited to remembering about four items, affect our ability to process and retain information effectively in various situationsbr -Strategies such as organizing experiences, repeating information, and discussing with others help balance the limitations of working memory and enhance memory retention and understandingbr -Connecting new knowledge with existing experiences, using imagery, and refining memories contribute to making information more meaningful and easier to recall in the future

You are Texter could actually be really good at texting and walking but understood that he couldn't see in front of him without holding the phone directly in front of his face which would've blocked his vision and he wouldn't be able to see as he walked so it was safer to stop walking and to text while standing Or he was just lazy and didn't wanna hold his arms up that highbrbrI'm not saying you're wrong I'm just offering a different point of view as to why people do thingsbrbrI would repeat myself but I can't remember what I just said because of my time in the military in 1990 in the middle of the gulf war which the VA in the military simply deny we have memory problems and I keep forgetting to follow it up to find a VA person who actually knows how memory works brbrI went to war in 1990 with a photographic memory but came back with a melted camera and unfortunately the VA has gone digital so none of it works

I am having problem with strong memory its very hard to move on from bad experience I have to force it to go away, but when I remember those detailed memory scene it hurts a lot, also people feel offended that I write all the things and remembered them and taunt them, while this are just normal occurrence, I use it get marks, but I lost many concept, now its hard

"If we're not processing life, we're not living it" So true and so cruel😢
Comment from : @lalalaso333

What he says at the end is completely true From what I can tell, most of everyone including myself who remembered those words to the end did so by doing something like painting a bizarre picture including those words, thereby processing them

Baddeley's four-component working memory model: the central executive, phonological loop, episodic buffer and visuospatial sketchpad
Comment from : @gracehao5537

Thank you 😉

Comment from : @burakraul9397

What if your working memory is impaired to the extent that its difficult to process immediately what is in front of you by relating to your previous knowledge What if it takes a lot of time for you to recall your already built knowledge that by the time you recall it you almost loose the track of what is happening at that point of time If we can’t process what we are seeing and listening immediately , can’t we have meaning in our life?
Comment from : @animeshrastogi163

184 Electrode Saturn mirror highway tree brProcessing is living - live life Absolutely great quote, simple but delivers volume Processing is putting in the effort, doing the work, and reflecting on it, but no ones really living anymore because we’d rather skip the effort and delay the reflection bcuz they’re so fascinated with the instant ability to record it - the game use to be “how can I understand this as thoroughly as possible?” but has been lost in translation to “how can I grab as much information as possible?”
Comment from : @hHarVv

"live life"👍

Comment from : @gaminglegofan

I forgot what was the 3rd or 4th word on the tree, highway, and mirror I think?
Comment from : @dontcheckmyprofilepicture477

I remembered those words all the way to the end and I didn't even need them Now I can't forget them I do love the idea of driving down a long highway with a forest on one side and Saturn on the other Listening to music from the radio that uses electrodes while looking in the rear vision mirror and watching my past fade away into the background
Comment from : @Nibbles667

thank you
Comment from : @bdondovdorj

Comment from : @kadarngo3239

Comment from : @kimaniwakamau

Okay, so that's fine and all, but I am still waiting to be asked to repeat "Tree, highway, mirror, saturn, and Electrode"
Comment from : @blsi4037

Wow, I love that last sentence at 9:00, the final take home message: What we process, we learn, if we're not processing life, we're not living it

Working memory - скорее рабочая память, не кратковременная Не обязательно кратковременная
Comment from : @annaangelina1

1:23 - 4 components of working memory br 1 Stores immediate experiences and a little bit of knowledgebr2 Reaches back into our long term memories and processes it in line with current goalsbr3 Working memory capacity leveragesbr4 Great for communication and building narratives around conversationsbrbrbr6:45 - Strategies:br1 We need to repeat/Practice itbr2 Think elaborately and repeatedlybr3 Rather than connecting new to known, we have to connect everything we known to the new and build connections till it becomes meaningfulbr4 Use images/ think in imagesbr5 Organization - Structure things we're doing in ways that it makes sensebr6 Support - Use external supports like charts, tables, etc until it becomes second nature brbrbr9:06 - Take home messagebrWe learn what we process If we're not processing, we aren't learning

The best working memory game is dual n back and the best version of dual n back that I have become so addicted to is the "Brain training chess" app It is available on iphone and ipad, check it out

Comment from : @joepatroni8777

Comment from : @FredoCorleone

в переводе ошибка Речь идет не о кратковременной памяти, а о рабочей памяти
Comment from : @katherin13able

Get to the part when you talk to animals
Comment from : @Joeybago12

Why does every Ted talk have to end with such a cheesy moral of the story?
Comment from : @bombastixteuton1130

Damn that closing statement was deep
Comment from : @PhatRichardTran

Doolittle, awesome name What turn signals!?
Comment from : @amazingnamed

Very helpful talk every bit Esp the 5 points solution explained in second half of the talk to improve working memory THANKS!!!brI usually come to youtube to watch ted talks, as it is faster but now going to ted back, and take notes from transcript
Comment from : @sutikshnadubey

YO Doctor Doolittle!
Comment from : @vidurawijerathna1964

I still memorized the 5 words: Tree, highway, mirror, Saturn, electrode I wouldn't want to explain how because I use the most bizarre ways to remember things and that's how I process them haha Moral of the story is to connect something in your life to the present moment for that moment to have meaning
Comment from : @ninoenriquez7553

Absolutely phenomenon
Comment from : @victoriamuthoni9198

Comment from : @gunasheela3518

Comment from : @x305tillidiex

i like it !!!!
Comment from : @rrfamily5806

true, we're replacing or memory with tech, and dumb down doing so
Comment from : @lunytrickz

i always think of our brain as a harddrive and the working memory as the ram
Comment from : @abcmaya

I feel like this is the big issue with people, technology and social media today: people are so preoccupied with recording life, rather than processing/living life in the moment Great talk
