Representation of short term memory - suggests that it's a dynamic processor of different types of information using subunits co-ordinated by a central decision making system
Central Executive
Components of WMM that co-ordinated the activities of the three subsystems in memory. It also allocates processing resources to those activities
Phonological Loop
the components of the WMM that processes information in terms of sound. This includes both written and spoken material. It's divided into the phonological store and the articulatory process
Visuo-spatial Sketchpad
the component of the WMM that processes visual and spatial information in a mental space often called our 'inner eye'
Episodic Buffer
the component of the WMM that brings together material from the other subsystems into a single memory rather than separate strands. It also provides a bridge between working memory and long-term memory
