What would this learning disability be called?

Question

I am in high school and have been tested for learning problems, which I do have. I have a slower processing speed that is most of it. However, I am very strong in comprehension. I understand things very easily (written wise, not mathematics) but I forget what I read after a while. I love to read books and I read all the time but the problem is once I move on to another book or even if I don't read for a few days I totally forget what I read, well not everything I mean I don't remember specifics, but sometimes I am left with the sense of the idea and the meaning but than the longer I don't think about it I will completely forget it. Is this normal to forget what you read after a few days?

In general, the rule is "Use it or lose it."  If you want to retain the information you're reading longer, use it regularly.  Tell others about what you've read.  Write a report.  Find someone  else who's read the same thing (or ask someone to) and then talk about it together.  

In answer to your second question: It is normal.  It's common to forget many of the details you've read after a few days.  Particularly if you're talking about a longer piece.  However, if you're losing everything but a sense of the story, then you there may be trouble moving the information from working to long term memory.  Fortunately, doing what I suggested in the first paragraph will work wonders on that.

Answer 4

Why do you want to have a learning disability? Its totally normal to forget things that are not on your mind constantly. Have you ever heard the phrase- you lose it if you dont use it?
