Improving Working Memory Capacity | Torkel Klingberg | TEDxNorrköping

Order: Reorder
Duration: 11:07
Updated: 15 Sep 2014

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. The two live talks at this TEDxNorrköping event have "plasticity" in common. Capabilities for problem solving and for learning (or progress) have often been regarded as (inherited) components of the personality. Both Carol S Dweck and Torkel Klingberg have made clear, that improvements of such capabilities are supported by systematic use of appropriate training and feedback. Very essential knowledge for any parent, teacher, leader and human being in general. Torkel Klingberg's research is focused on the development and plasticity of working memory and the research focus of his group is summarized on the group research page. Recent articles can be down-loaded from the list of publications from the group. Torkel Klingberg was one of the founders the company Cogmed, but has currently no financial relationships with Cogmed, no stocks, no royalty and no consultancy agreements. He has published popular science books about working memory called “The overflowing brain” and recently completed a second book called "The learning brain". About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
