I think what you call it is more complex. As I can see there are three important capacitities: attention to details, working memory and iq (capacity to see patterns, what is tested in iq tests). In my experience they are all important, I'm pretty bad at the first two, and this makes me miserable in my job.

attention to detail correlates with interest in the topic. Maybe find something to work on that you care about a lot of that excites you. If not cultivate your interest. Pretend it's your child then love it unconditionally.

Working memory: Memorize things that surprise you. Then Try to understand why you were surprised. You don't have to memorize things you understand.
