1:23 - 4 components of working memory 1. Stores immediate experiences and a little bit of knowledge. 2. Reaches back into our long term memories and processes it in line with current goals. 3. Working memory capacity leverages. 4. Great for communication and building narratives around conversations. 6:45 - Strategies: 1. We need to repeat/Practice it. 2. Think elaborately and repeatedly. 3. Rather than connecting new to known, we have to connect everything we known to the new and build connections till it becomes meaningful. 4. Use images/ think in images 5 Organization - Structure things we're doing in ways that it makes sense. 6 Support - Use external supports like charts, tables, etc. until it becomes second nature. 9:06 - Take home message We learn what we process. If we're not processing, we aren't learning.

I remembered those words all the way to the end and I didn't even need them. Now I can't forget them. I do love the idea of driving down a long highway with a forest on one side and Saturn on the other. Listening to music from the radio that uses electrodes while looking in the rear vision mirror and watching my past fade away into the background.

Long Covid messed with my working memory. It also gave me a passion for understanding how brains work. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

I feel like this is the big issue with people, technology and social media today: people are so preoccupied with recording life, rather than processing/living life in the moment. Great talk.

What he says at the end is completely true. From what I can tell, most of everyone including myself who remembered those words to the end did so by doing something like painting a bizarre picture including those words, thereby processing them.

Very helpful talk. every bit. Esp the 5 points solution explained in second half of the talk to improve working memory. THANKS!!! I usually come to youtube to watch ted talks, as it is faster. but now going to ted back, and take notes from transcript.

I still memorized the 5 words: Tree, highway, mirror, Saturn, electrode. I wouldn't want to explain how because I use the most bizarre ways to remember things and that's how I process them haha. Moral of the story is to connect something in your life to the present moment for that moment to have meaning.

My short term memory needs links---like I walk into a room and I ask" Why did I come into here?" I have to walk back into the room where I first had the thought and it seems to be lingering in the air and is picked up by my brain then I can walk back into the room to retrieve why I went into. It is so much fun getting older----

Prático e esclarecedor! Amei!

Brilliant! Most of us are completely unaware of this concept. Well presented by a very effective speaker!

When he said 5 words i Just immagined those words as an full image . There is highway , next to it a tree with a mirror on it in the background there is saturn. And electrodes are on the road. I have a good image memmory. So probobly If I wanted I could remmember that for as long as I want. But at the same time i have problem to remmember other concepts . Like names or phone numbers. Yet i can remmember faces of persons I saw weeks ago for a few seconds.

definitely; for example, a person undergoing a neuro-physiological experiment involving electrodes (word-1) implanted on the scalp or brain, with stimulation causing recall of a memory about driving on the highway(2) in a Saturn (3) automobile, noticing a tree (4) in your rear/side mirror (5).

It's a practical lesson, something you can apply to your daily tasks

If you are not processing life, you are not living it. Live your life. I often go into so called the "Hibernate mode" where I would like to just watch some TVs and more to try and forget about working memory cause they suck, and not feel like enjoying or meaningful. But once I change my mind to somethings more valuable and structured in life, you understand that you are able to process your life and find real drive and dedication to live your life. Just love TED, and hope to be on stage and share knowledge one day :)

Çalışan hafızanın 4 bileşeni vardır. 1. Anlık deneyimleri ve biraz bilgiyi depolar. 2. Uzun süreli hafızamıza geri döner ve mevcut hedefler doğrultusunda işler. 3. Çalışan bellek kapasitesinden yararlanır. 4. İletişim ve konuşmalar etrafında anlatılar oluşturmak için harikadır. Çalışan hafızanın sınırlı bir kapasitesi olduğundan ondan yararlanarak bazı stratejiler yardımıyla başarıya dönüştürebiliriz. Stratejiler: 1. Hemen Tekrarlamak (bir saat veya bir hafta sonra değil) - Yazmak, not çıkarmak, tartışmak gibi yollarla sürekli pratik yapmak. 2. Ayrıntılı ve açıklayıcı bir şekilde tekrar tekrar düşünmek. 3. Yeni bilgiyi eski bilgiye bağlamak yerine, bildiğimiz her şeyi yeni bilgiye bağlamalı ve anlamlı hale gelene kadar bağlantılar kurmak. 4. Resimleri kullanmak. Resimlerle yazmak ve resimlerle düşünmek. 5. Organizasyon. Yaptığımız şeyleri bir anlam çıkaraca şekilde planlamak. 6. Destek. Resimler, şemalar, tablolar ile desteklemek. SONUÇ: İşlediğimizi öğreniyoruz. Eğer hayatı işlemiyorsak, yaşamıyoruz demektir.

184 Electrode Saturn mirror highway tree Processing is living - live life. Absolutely great quote, simple but delivers volume. Processing is putting in the effort, doing the work, and reflecting on it, but no ones really living anymore because we’d rather skip the effort and delay the reflection bcuz they’re so fascinated with the instant ability to record it - the game use to be “how can I understand this as thoroughly as possible?” but has been lost in translation to “how can I grab as much information as possible?”

I remembered by imagining the following... The ELECTRODES in the car igniting and powering the engine of a car which is headed down the HIGHWAY. To the right I see a TREE and from the drivers seat I can see the rear view MIRROR. The car is a SATURN (its a company).

I have an alternate extra explanation of why that guy stopped to text, having nothing to do with memory. He simply couldn't read and type when the little screen he was using was bouncing around as he walked. So he stopped to stop the screen from bouncing.

As he said in the beginning, the scene could be approached from the multitasking perspective. Multitasking is actually a word for the ability to skillfully bounce our attention from one process to another, the brain is "speed-tasking" so to say, as it is always still focusing on one task at a time. The guy with the phone was simply not into multitasking, or as he said, his working memory was focused on one action.

I was just waiting for him to ask what those five words are😂

Baddeley's four-component working memory model: the central executive, phonological loop, episodic buffer and visuospatial sketchpad

nice ending message :)

Amazingg talk!!! Loved it!

"'If we're not processing life, we're not living it. Live life " ... cool !

So, how did this relate to the guy on the sidewalk? As opposed to multitasking, how does working memory play into this scenario? I don't know if he ever got around to explaining that.

в переводе ошибка. Речь идет не о кратковременной памяти, а о рабочей памяти.

I am having problem with strong memory its very hard to move on from bad experience I have to force it to go away, but when I remember those detailed memory scene it hurts a lot, also people feel offended that I write all the things and remembered them and taunt them, while this are just normal occurrence, I use it get marks, but I lost many concept, now its hard

For those interested in this subject, you might want to check Thinking Fast and Slow.

I only forgot mirror and ugh primary and recency effects are mocking me

so what were those words for? the tree, highway mirror, Saturn and electrode?

i have hd and my latest psych eval said that my working memory was not working so well. the items were getting in their location in the brain (if you repeat the list later verbally I can tell you yes or no 100%).. but the subcortex processing side of this was not woking a fast as it used to. (if I have to figure it out myself - not so good). Also HD affects my hearing which is very very bad too. So in this video... the words were and I heard this: 1 Tree/Tree, 2 Highway/Highway; 3 Mirror/Deer or Year; 4 Saturn/Month; 5 Electrode/couldnt' remember at all anything. So IN ADDITION TO WORKING MEMORY... WE HAVE OTHER ISSUES TOO... LIKE AUDITORY PROCESSING. It's very very hard to do both. I wonder if you try to focus on the memory and then you focus even less on the hearing. Remember the person "texting and walking" that sat down. Couldn't do 2 things at same time?

@KatWillows2310

6 жыл бұрын

Short term memory is where you store a small amount of information that's in an active, ready, state. You don't manipulate anything in short-term memory, or really do anything with it. Working memory is like a notepad in your brain- this is where you manipulate information and put concepts together. Working memory can retain a little information- but it's not for storage purposes. If you want a metaphor, your working memory is a desk, short term memory is the small filing cabinet underneath it, and long term is the archive that's in the other room.

What if your working memory is impaired to the extent that its difficult to process immediately what is in front of you by relating to your previous knowledge. What if it takes a lot of time for you to recall your already built knowledge that by the time you recall it you almost loose the track of what is happening at that point of time. If we can’t process what we are seeing and listening immediately , can’t we have meaning in our life?

Working memory has a limited capacity, and can only deal with small chunks at a time. It doesn't help put things together. Long-term memory orders and selects ideas, and feeds it into conscious thought.
