How does dyslexia affect memory?

[arjunreeves]

She's right about a lot of things there. I struggled as a student because I just didn't fit in a classroom environment, I did amazing in the lab environment.
I thought I was a loser all my school life..but I was a winner all my ongoing professional life. It's the teachers that need to be educated. Thank you for the video.

she is 100 percent right about dyslexic mind.

You speak very accurately to the memory issues associated with dyslexia. I can read a paragraph and will not recall most of what I read moments later. It makes reading for me slow and exhausting and writing too. You are spot on with the sequential and organizational challenges that we face as well as the overload that we can experience. Thank you!

I just wish that employers were more understanding of people with learning disabilities. The academic world is very supportive, but once you get to the "real" working world LDs are seen as handicaps.

When my dad would tell me to do something about 3 min later I forgot what he told me to do

58 now and spent most of my life hiding my educational past. I wasn't just held back to repeat a grade, I was put back mid year from 4th to 3rd grade. I still can't completely comprehend the shame I felt then. I know that I have had life long problems with self esteem and self confidence, even though I had a pretty successful tour in the Marine Corps. I did well in the Marine Corps because of the structured environment and the removal of alternate choices. When I knew exactly what was wanted and how it was done I thrived. Struggling in life now and realizing that many of the problems in my marriage stem from the basic way in which my wife and I see the world and approach problems.

I have dyslexia. I have short-term/ working memory issues. And in school they helped me with phonics. I wish that all kids would be taught phonics. It was very helpful for me .

I remember presenting a group PowerPoint to a class, I memorised everything I had to say in the order of the dot points on my slides, when It was my turn, someone from my team switched around the dot points, so I was just stuck there speechless and told off by the teacher as 'letting my team down'

[crocodilerock]

YES!!! Great concise and clear video. I am a reading specialist and have been interested in the connection to verbal short term memory for a long time. You tied it all together in a neat package!

Ty for putting this video out. I was diagnosed with Dyslexia when I was a child. ( I had early signs) I always struggled remembering things. I thought something was wrong with me for a long time. Now in my adult life i'm realizing, this is all part of the disability. Honestly you don't know how reassuring this is to hear. The amazing part about dyslexia is that I accel in a lot of other areas. Writing code for websites has been super easy for me bc there's only rules to follow. Ask me to write a paragraph of English and I'm running away lol.

Wow I'm dyslexic this explains so much thankyou

[huseyindama]

I read many article and watched many video but I have never heard such beneficial explanation before

[troysgaming]

Been diagnosed as a dyslexic since I was a kid. Learning ways to understand my disability, to perfect learning ways. To also note; this also effects mathematics as well, as that requires working memory as well.

The info on understanding information was really good. All I hear is about reading and writing, it's my memory that's no good.

I've struggled with memory for a long time the pieces are slowly coming together I had no idea not being able to read as a efficiently as another person was even a symptom for instance it can take me up to a week or more to finish reading a 150 page book on average and reading the same page over and over

[danieldelaney]

Always struggled with memory issues. I have bad recall untill i see a visual aid such as a photo etc. Telling me a set of verbal instructions literally takes all of my concentration to complete even if its a simple instruction like a simple cooking recipe and usually end up having to ask again how to do something so my audio learning skills and working memory aint great. Yet im a fantastic problem solver.. great with puzzles and numbers. Always though i was dumb untill later in life when i learned about dyslexia

[christopherjames]

I was beat for not being able to read . A narcissists mother - school teacher loved to play the victim of a loving mother who' child would not learn just to spite her.

[FontsdyslexiaDHP]

Incredible! I did not know that. Thanks for sharing!

[judybraden]

Thank you, Keep up the good work..

I’m a person who has dyslexia and my memory is terrible. Every time I have an upcoming test for any subject in school I get so stressed out. I forget like all of the revision we did and studying just does not seem to help me. When I’m told to do something, I mainly forget what I was to do in the space of like 5 minutes or something.... it annoys me from time to time but I’ve gotta deal with it.
