The Working Memory Model

The Working Memory Model

1. Central executive

   • Controls working memory by allocating resources and making decisions about what information should be processed.

2. Phonological loop

   • Processes verbal material, it's divided into:
     • Phonological store
       • Temporary storage of verbal material.
     • Articulatory process
       • Maintenance rehearsal.

3. Visuo-spatial sketchpad

   • Processes visual and spatial information by storing (visual cache) and manipulating it (inner scribe).

4. Episodic buffer

   • Integrates information processed in the other subsystems and links with LTM.
