Thank you for posting this. For the record, memory athletes can memorize a deck of cards in well under one minute. Generally, they use the "memory palace" technique.

You are absolutely right. I think I was thinking about kids I know who are not as fluent as adults. I'm also familiar with Memory Place as well.

There are many different ways to work on working memory. I typically go to games as it makes it more fun. Any game where you need to hold information in your mind to make a decision would work. For example, logic problems like Sudoku and logic puzzles both require working memory. You can make it easier by taking notes, and harder by holding it all in your head. Chess is also a great working memory game when you plan moves ahead. There are also games like Distraction, Master Mind, Rush Hour, Set, and Rules (game in Apple's App store). You can also work on working memory by learning a variety of memory strategies. As one other commenter noted, adults can learn a tool called Memory Palace. A simpler place to start is Memory Pegs. Hope this helps.
