Memory, Focus, and Why Multitasking Fails
Episode 2 of our four part series on executive functioning. Why is it so hard to remember things, stay focused, or follow through even when you care?
In this episode, Dr. Roxy Riefkohl-Cook and Dr. Stephanie Ellis take a closer look at three core executive functioning skills: memory, focus, and mental effort. Together, they explore how working memory actually functions, why multitasking strains the brain, and what really affects our ability to stay alert and engaged.
