Abstract

Working memory capacity is one of the most important learner’s characteristics that can be used as an input parameter for personalizing learning in order to improve the learning process. Therefore, knowing learner’s working memory capacity and personalizing the learning contents according to learner’s working memory capacity levels are important research issues. This paper proposes an approach for measuring learner’s working memory capacity from his/her interactions with a learning version of memory match game.
