Working Memory
This month’s Think Tank main piece (it helps if you watch it first):
TED TALK How your Working Memory makes Sense of the World
by Peter Doolittle
"Life comes at us very quickly, and
what we need to do is take that
amorphous flow of experience and
somehow extract meaning from it."
In this funny, enlightening talk,
educational psychologist Peter
Doolittle details the importance --
and limitations -- of your ‘working
memory,’ that part of the brain that
allows us to make sense of what's happening right now.” TED.com
Including… A book review on Wexler’s Brain and Culture: Neurobiology, ideology,
and social change by Stephen Ryan
