Both of these theories suggest that children can only hold on to so much information at one time, and limitations increase the younger the child is. It is very important that teachers recognize where their students are at developmentally and plan or adjust lessons accordingly. Pressley and McCormick suggest that “when students have difficulty with classroom tasks due to working memory limitations, teachers can support their students by breaking tasks down into parts that are less memory demanding or by providing external supports that reduce the amount of information the students have to hold in their heads at one time” (Pressley & McCormick, 2007, p. 96). This will prevent students from feeling overwhelmed and make it easier to grasp the content of the lesson. Also the strategies of rehearsal, elaboration, and organization can help students to hold information.
