The working memory model (WMM) proposed by Baddeley and Hitch (1974) is a theoretical framework that

explains or focuses mainly on working of short-term memory. The model proposes four main components: the
central executive system is responsible for coordinating resources and tasks like attention, manipulation,
interpretation, and so on. It controls the three-slave system. Phonological loop, visual sketch pad, and episodic
buffer. The phonological loop is further divided into two sub-systems: articulatory control, responsible for speech
production and rehearsal, and phonological storage, which is speech perception and storage for 2 seconds. A visual
sketch pad processes information in a visual or spatial form. In 2000, Baddeley added an episodic buffer to the
model, proposing it as a temporary working platform or storage. It also serves as the link between long-term memory
and the components of working memory.

The working memory model (WMM), first put forth by Baddeley and Hitch in 1974, is a theoretical framework that
primarily describes how short-term memory works. The model identifies four primary components: the central
executive system of organizing tasks and resources related to manipulation, interpretation, and other and other
similar tasks. It oversees the three-slave system. episodic buffer, visual sketch pad, and phonological loop.
model: the central executive system is in charge of organizing tasks and resources related to manipulation,
interpretation,
An episodic buffer was introduced to the model by Baddeley in 2000, and it was suggested that this serve as a
temporary platform or store.
