“Working memory challenges are part of having ADHD. They don’t cause ADHD; they come with ADHD.”
working memoryWhile there’s some debate in the field about this, it’s generally held that short-term memory is super quick: It stores information briefly.is related to short-term memory, but it lasts slightly longer and is involved in the manipulation of information.
If someone tells you something and you write it down, it might not matter that your short-term memory is faulty because you don’t have to hold on to that memory beyond documenting it. Working memory deficits become problematic if someone tells you something, and you need to hold on to the memory and do something with it but can’t.
When things are flagged as emotionally important, they transfer down the memory line and are converted into long-term memories. This is why emotions and working memory are so intricately related. Short-term, immediate memory for simple tasks gets processed first, information that is more complex and demanding goes into working memory, and, if it’s tagged with emotional importance or special relevance, it ends in long-term memory. It’s a very complicated process.
