Working Memory Model

• Working Memory Model


  A cognitive architecture that describes the structure and function of working memory, with components including the phonological loop, visuospatial sketchpad, episodic buffer, and central executive.
• Central Executive


  A component of the Working Memory Model that controls the allocation of resources and attention to different tasks, responsible for task-switching, supervision, error monitoring, and decision-making.
• Phonological Loop


  A component of the Working Memory Model that processes and maintains verbal information, responsible for verbal information processing, rehearsal, and storage.
• Phonological Store


  A temporary storage system for verbal information in the Working Memory Model, with a limited capacity, temporarily storing verbal information for rehearsal or forgetting.
• Articulatory Store


  A component of the Phonological Loop responsible for the articulation of verbal information, receiving auditory feedback and practicing and rehearsing verbal information.
• Visuo-Spatial Sketchpad


  A component of the Working Memory Model that processes and maintains visual and spatial information, temporarily storing and manipulating the information.
• Episodic Buffer


  A component of the Working Memory Model that temporarily stores and consolidates information from multiple sources, integrating sensory information, long-term memory, and the phonological loop.
