children who under-achieve at school may just have poor working memory rather than low intelligence. researchers from a university surveyed more than 3000 primary school children of all ages and found that 10% of them suffer from poor working memory, which seriously impedes their learning. nationally, this equates to almost 500,000 children in primary education being affected. The researchers also found that teachers rarely identify poor working memory and often describe children with this problem as inattentive or less intelligent.
