Answer to Question 1

Working memory critically affects academic performance. A recent study of Brazilian schoolchildren assessed their working-memory skills (the ability to hold new information in their memory and manipulate that information) as well as their academic achievements. The study showed that working memory capacity is a good predictor of academic success (Engel de Abreu et al., 2014). These results also underscore the importance of early detection and intervention in children who may have weaker working- memory skills.

Answer to Question 2

According to Squire, there are two fundamental types of memory: declarative memory and nondeclarative memory. Declarative memory consists of semantic (facts) and episodic (events) memory. Nondeclarative memory consists of procedural skills, priming, conditioning and nonassociative learning (habituation and sensitization).
