Working memory is short term memory, structures and processes are used to temporarily store and manipulate information eg prefrontal cortex, parietal cortex, anterior cingulate, basal ganglia. ADHD is associated with impairment of the frontal lobe. Reduced working memory capacity led to errors.

Attention deficit trait is due to too much stimulus, leads to black and white thinking, difficulty staying organised, setting priorities and managing time, there is a constant low level of panic and guilt.
