Metamemory

The memory takes an indisputable part in the learning processes, in the sense that it allows us to assimilate, retain, and recall that which we have learned through experiences and using this as a base, organizes new information and knowledge. The working memory (WM), in particular, working closely with the short term memory allows us to use temporarily stored information for the execution of complex cognitive tasks.  Moreover, research has demonstrated that high levels of WM correspond to more effective learning.  Aimed at children ages 6 to 13, Metamemory represents an effective and captivating proposal for strengthening the different components of the memory (verbal, visuospatial, auditory, tactile, olfactory, gustatory, working memory), with:

• a series of activities to do in an individual or group setting, described in a clear and complete way;
• Metamemory questionnaires 1 and 2, to complete before and after the activity;
• metacognitive questions, supporting the awareness of and reflection on working processes.

Completing the volume are audio resources, more than 40 colour illustrated activity sheets and the board game Memory-go! which is an excellent tool for working on memory skills in the context of play.
