Working memory capacity predicts success in STEM fields.

the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
2 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that working memory capacity predicts success in STEM fields?

Unclear. Two sources partially support the idea that working memory capacity relates to academic outcomes: one study found WMC predicted school grades in German high schoolers, and a review notes WM predicts GPA and test scores. Neither addresses success in STEM fields specifically.
