Working Memory Plausible States

  • Retains Instructions

    Short-Term-Memory: Child remembers information like names, numbers, or items for a short period without frequent repetition. Sequential-Memory: Accurately recalls ordered sequences (e.g., days of the week, steps to a task). Story-Recall: Can retell key details of a short story or event, including the main idea and some specific elements. Instruction Recall: Follows multi-step directions (e.g., “Put on your shoes, grab your bag, and wait by the door”) without forgetting steps. Task Completion: Holds enough information in memory to complete age-appropriate tasks independently.

  • Needs Frequent Reminders

    Short-Term-Memory: Child remembers simple information but struggles to retain it for more than a few minutes without prompts. Sequential-Memory: Can recall short sequences but often skips or mixes up steps in longer or more complex sequences. Story-Recall: Retells parts of a story but may leave out important details or mix up the order of events. Instruction Recall: Handles one- or two-step directions but frequently needs reminders or repetition for more complex instructions. Task Completion: Begins tasks but occasionally forgets steps or needs frequent adult reminders to finish.

  • Forgets Easily

    Short-Term-Memory: Child has significant difficulty remembering even simple information for a short time, requiring constant repetition. Sequential-Memory: Consistently struggles to recall sequences, even when broken into small parts. Story-Recall: Provides minimal or no details when retelling a story, often forgetting the main idea entirely. Instruction Recall: Struggles to follow even simple instructions without needing step-by-step guidance at every point. Task Completion: Frequently leaves tasks incomplete or becomes confused about what to do next, indicating a need for structured support or professional intervention.

Statistics

Research shows that 87% of children with autism experience challenges with working memory, impacting their learning capabilities.
