Working Memory Model- a representation of the STM, It suggests that the STM is a dynamic processor of different types of information using sub-units coordinated by a central decision-making system
Central Executive- the component of WMM that co-ordinated activities of the three subsystems in memory. It also allocates processing resources to those activities.
Phonological loop- the component of WMM that processes information in terms of sound. This includes both written and spoken material. It is divided into the phonological store and the articulatory loop.
Visuo-spatial sketchpad- the component of the WMM that processes visual and spatial information in a mental space often called the '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 the LTM.
