Boost Your Brain's Processing POWER - Working Memory Training

In this post, I explore the importance of working memory and how we can train it. Working memory is far more than a store we use when remembering numbers. Rather, it is the mental workspace we use for visualization, mentally manipulating objects, and even organizing the movement of our body in space.

In fact, working memory may even be responsible for our very conscious experience of the world: by allowing us to stitch together the snapshots we take of the world around us and filling in the gaps with schemas, memories, and assumptions.

If we could increase our working memory, we could experience a richer sensation of the world around us. Be wittier in conversation. Be better at problem solving. Move more gracefully. Seemingly slow time around us.

Common methods for training working memory include dual n-back and chess. However, as we will see, these fall short of emulating the richness of this mental capacity.

In this post, I explore the mechanisms of working memory in depth and recommend alternative strategies: including a free app you can download from the link above.

Enjoy and bye for now!

More videos on cognitive and memory training.

Thank you for all that you do, please continue your research, we believe in you

As a brain tumor survivor, that suffered a mini-stroke during the initial craniotomy, I’ve been struggling to recover my cognitive and physical abilities for over a decade. The radiation therapy really put the kibosh on both long and short term memory. Love the book and the channel. Cheers to you good sir.👍

[SolarSpringtime]

Yes! More of these! As an ADHDer, working memory is a constant struggle. Thank you! 🙏🏽

I have found that jiu jitsu has help immensely with my adhd and working memory. Having to keep track of eight limbs and body balance in the midst of another person trying to (nicely) injure you really does pay dividends when it comes to brain function but also mind body connection

Adam. I started juggling because of you when I read functional training and beyond. I'm pretty damn good at it now and can even do tricks. I noticed when you juggle your elbows flare out a bit. If you keep your elbows tight to your body it will improve your juggling massively.

Your brain training videos are very much appreciated, please keep them coming!

I really needed this, my memory is seriously bad. I can never remember anything I want to learn but somehow I always remember tv references 😆

The most important thing is doing a variety of mental exercises. I was really sharp in high school when I was running cross country, doing normal school work, playing an instrument, reading a lot, writing a bit, learning a language, programming, working with my hands and machinery on a robotics team (FIRST). Lately as an adult I've let some of these things go and have noticed a real decline in how "sharp" my brain feels over the past couple years. And then when I have a week where I find time to do as many of these things as possible, plus the meditation practice I've picked up, I feel much more like myself.

I don't care what anyone says Adam's channel is so unique and covers every aspect of 'training' bi far the best channel in terms of training information. Thank you mr Bioneer!

I have ADHD which is a big part of my short term memory loss. Years ago I used to do mindfulness exercises which didn't seem to help me. I'm considering meds at this point because it's affecting my ability to work effectively but thankfully I always have a strong will to learn so I'm constantly learning programming, new languages or just widening my knowledge in world history and nutritional science. I like to think that constantly learning things and regularly exercises will help me in the long term. There is also a lot of scientifically conducted evidence that constantly learning through your whole life can help prevent or delay alzheimers disease.

I am learning php now and i am overwhelmed. This is the video i needed right now :)

[oscarpotschka]

I've been missing this brain training videos man, bless 🙏

There's some cool research ongoing for ADHD/ADD called Central Executive Training (CET) that aiming to increase working memory for people with the condition. Some of the concerns that it's addressing are that a lot of the treatment that exists now either only trains your memory for a specific tasks, or actually trains short term memory (which isn't as helpful for ADHD/ADD)

Don't overlook the power of reading. It may seem simple but reading is a complex activity that uses a lot of different areas of the brain. Both fiction and nonfiction use different mental abilities and can help improve cognition and be protective against damage.

[ApxsRapParody]

Yesss I've been waiting for you to cover this topic, thank you!

[noahryanbloom]

This is perfect timing for me. I was just telling one of my good friends how I’d love to work on my memory if it’s possible!

[josemarialaguinge]

I would like more content on improving the brain, since it's something that I would love to improve, even more than physical strength.

[mercurialne]

I swear you're in my head! I was JUST looking into this. Thanks again for the high-quality, always on time content!!!
