If you believe Dr Tracy Alloway from the University of Stirling in Scotland, Twitter and Facebook are very different beasts when it comes to improve your 'working memory', which relates to 'the structures and processes used for temporarily storing and manipulating information in short-term memory.'
Dr. Alloway has developed a working memory training programme for slow-learning children aged 11 to 14 at a school in Durham, and she found out that Facebook did wonders for working memory, improving the kids' IQ scores, while Twitter's steady stream of information was not healthy for working memory.
