Working Memory Exercises

In these exercises, working memory will be worked on through tasks of spelling words in direct and reverse order. This activity stimulates the retention and manipulation of temporal information, promoting attention and cognitive flexibility. No specific materials are required, as the exercises can be done orally and adapted to the individual’s pace. They are designed to improve cognitive skills in people with moderate impairment.
