Abstract

Most students struggle with their academic performance, as the most basic cognitive ability in studying working memory is expected to correlate positively with academic performance. As there are few studies about this, this article aims to review the relationship between them and as a reference for future research. The hippocampus store memory, which plays an important role in working memory. The influence of academic performance on working memory can be divided into some different aspects: creativity, reading literacy and math ability. As for creativity, there are many different results suggested by scientists. For example, working memory linked with creativity positively, greater creativity associated with low working memory. Moreover, working memory has been shown to help with math and reading performance. The unique recovery of working memory is an important factor in mathematical fluency. Working memory is associated with tasks such as reading comprehension and math problem-solving, which illustrates the impact and contribution of working memory to academic achievement. This review contributes to the understanding of academic achievement from the perspective of working memory to a great extent.
