CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Dyslexia can affect short term memory, so your partner may forget a conversation, a task they have promised to do, or important dates. They may also struggle to remember the names of people they have met or how to get to places they have visited before.

Detailed explanation-2: -Often people with dyslexia have an excellent long term memory. To remember something like a phone number, or how to spell a word, you need to transfer it to your long term memory. The best way to do that is through spaced repetition. That is, try to recall a fact with longer and longer gaps between testing.

Detailed explanation-3: -The speed with which we rehearse information is linked to how much information we can hold in working memory. However, it takes the individual with dyslexia much longer to repeat phrases and, as a result, they can run out of time to rehearse all the important information.

Detailed explanation-4: -Many of us know dyslexia as a learning difference, something that typically affects reading and writing. And while this is true, this is only part of the picture. Dyslexia affects the way we process information, including what we see and hear as well as organisational skills.
