Implications (in class and at home)
In class, slower processing speed can result in difficulty completing tasks on time, keeping up with fast-paced discussions, or following multi-step instructions. At home, this can translate into longer homework sessions and frustration with timed tasks like timed reading or maths exercises.
Implications of a low score in our test
A low score in processing speed tests indicates challenges in handling information quickly, potentially affecting performance in timed assessments and everyday learning tasks. However, given this is just a moment in time, we recommend continually testing processing speed, to get a proper understanding.
A note!
Slow processing speed and poor working memory are different but do have an overlap, many of the strategies to help apply to both and many who have slow processing also have poorer working memory.
