Resumen
A memória de trabalho é um sistema cognitivo que apoia o desenvolvimento de várias aprendizagens, entre elas, a matemática. Discute-se, no artigo, se as dificuldades na matemática estão associadas a defasagens em componentes específicos da memória de trabalho, ou estão relacionadas a um déficit geral deste sistema, considerando o modelo de Baddeley e Hicht. Analisa-se a diversidade encontrada nos resultados das pesquisas que relacionam memória de trabalho a dificuldades na matemática, apontando justificativas para tal situação. Define-se o papel da memória de trabalho na aprendizagem da matemática, destacando-se que tal aprendizagem está diretamente ligada a outros processos cognitivos fundamentais para o bom desempenho matemático, como é o caso da velocidade de processamento e da recuperação fluente de fatos aritméticos da memória de longo prazo. O desenvolvimento de mais pesquisas relacionando memória de trabalho a dificuldades na matemática é de fundamental importância, possibilitando avanços nos processos de prevenção e intervenção.
