Abstract My study is about working memory and working memory abilities for children with concentration difficulties. I have looked at literature and current research. I have also done an interview study on three pedagogues who have experience of the problem area. The conclusion I can draw from my investigation is, when it comes to working memory and what children with concentration difficulties can have problem with, is often shown when instruction is given in several stages and when the child come to the last instruction they sometimes have forgotten what the first instruction was. Special questions, image, image schedules and written instruction can help the child to remember. I also found that the pedagogues not only looked at working memory, but they also examined how the child hear and see, therefore they look at the ability of how the child notice what they hear and see and how they use it in their every day living. Time perception also have whit memory to-do, if the child can’t remember what they did for example yesterday at home or which character they have learned. When it comes to specific areas in school where the child with bad working memory can have problems with, is it often shown in school subjects as mathematic (instruction in several stages) and in Swedish subjects (character learning, and in reading). My conclusion among others are, if the child have difficulties with its working memory it is shown mainly in mathematic and in the subject Swedish. Another conclusion I drew is, if you started to train the child already in preschool, you can make it easier for the child to continue its learning. The result also shown that the pedagogues think that it is important to work from without what the particular child hade difficulties with and how the environment effects on the child’s ability.
