Presented by: Dr. Rhonda Martinussen
Dr. Rhonda Martinussen is currently an Assistant Professor of Special Education and Adaptive Instruction at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education of the University of Toronto. Her research focuses on the relations among working memory, inattention, and academic achievment in children and youth. She is currently conducting a study examining how to enhance listening and reading comprehension in children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). She is also studying note-taking and written expression skills in youth with and without ADHD.
What is working memory? How do we measure it? What is the relationship between working memory and academic achievement? Is working memory related to attentional control? These are all questions that Dr. Martinussen will address in her talk. She will also discuss various factors to consider when instructing students who exhibit working memory weaknesses.
