Recent studies on individual differences in mathematical abilities show that aspects of working memory contribute to early arithmetic performance. In this chapter, we provide a brief overview on working memory: from its inception, as a replacement or supplement to the multistore model, to more recent studies that address its relationship with other cognitive functions. In particular, we focus on the applied literature and describe several studies that provide insight on the relationship between working memory and mathematical problem solving. In our own work, we found working memory played a more prominent role in mathematical problem solving than previously thought. We also found working- memory predicted performance in school examinations. To provide additional insight on “why working memory works,” we describe our initial efforts to tease out the relationship between working memory and different components of mathematical problem solving.
