Working Memory - Baddeley and Hitch (1974)

The video explores Baddeley and Hitch's Working Memory Model, which redefines short-term memory as a complex system with multiple components: the central executive, phonological loop, visuo-spatial sketchpad, and episodic buffer. The central executive organizes information, while the phonological loop and visuo-spatial sketchpad handle auditory and visual data, respectively. The episodic buffer connects working memory with long-term memory. The dual-task paradigm demonstrates the model's validity, showing that tasks using different systems can be performed simultaneously. The KF case study supports the model's claim of distinct memory systems. Despite its insights, the model is not exhaustive.
