Working Memory Model
Baddeley and Hitch (1974) proposed the Working Memory Model,
an enhancement of the multi-store explanation of how memory works. It consists
of three sections:
Articulatory-Phonological Loop
The loop stores auditory information the ears, as well
as containing an articulatory system for speech production.
Visual-Spacial Sketch Pad
This manages visual coding.
Central Executive
Information rehersed from the articulatory-phonological
loop and visual-spacial sketch pad goes to the central executive. This is
our 'attention'.
