Working memory (WM) is a core aspect of executive function, related to temporary storage of information to be manipulated and used by other cognitive processes.1 Despite the lack of a consensus definition and theoretical model to explain this function, its assessment is a key aspect in clinical practice, both for diagnostic and intervention purposes. Furthermore, as a cognitive process, WM is key to understanding functional capacity in clinical samples.
