    Short term memory is a cognitive process that helps when it comes to holding

    information in immediate awareness and using it quickly. There is a subcomponent to short term

    memory that is called working memory. Working memory is the ability to recall ordered

    elements in the correct order after seeing it or hearing it once, and also storing as well as

    performing a set of cognitive operations that require attention. Short term memory is linked to

    reading, math, written expression, and oral language. There are some weaknesses when it comes

    to short term memory, but there are also interventions and modifications that can be made to help

    those with weaknesses in this area.

    Some of the weaknesses that deal with short term memory, are retaining information, or

    reading comprehension. So, when reading, a student may be able to read the book, but not

    understand what they just read. They can also read, but not retain any of the information they

    read, if the book is an informational book or a class book. Another problem they may have, is

    rote memorization. What that means, is that the student would have trouble when it comes to

    math and learning some of the formulas or just simple math facts. They may also have trouble

    with following directions or completing lengthy tasks.

    Some interventions or accommodations that can be made, are that the teacher can try to

    use visuals to teach concepts. The teacher can also repeat concepts and provide multi-sensory

    learning. When it comes to completing a task, the teacher could try and give the student short

    and simple steps to complete a certain task. When it comes to reading, the teacher can have the

    student read aloud, and then have them summarize and or explain what they just read. There are

    many interventions and accommodations that a teacher can do to help their students, these are

    just a few. There are many tools that a teacher can use to help them accommodate their students,

    it is just a matter of taking the time and worrying about the students.
