The lab's simulations with the new model point to learning, rather than capacity, as the real driver of working memory, Soni ...

Just How 'Short' Is Short-Term Memory? Even if you have a fantastic memory, your ability to hold information in short-term memory is still pretty limited. Takeaway. Most of the in ...

Professor Alan Baddeley of York University is best known for a landmark theory which describes a model of working memory that explains how we might acquire, learn and commit information to memory.

What researchers found was that the model was able to predict not only how much and how quickly the students learned, but that the student's pre-existing working memory and openness to experience ...

Working memory is a form of memory that allows a person to temporarily hold a limited amount of information at the ready for immediate mental use. It is considered essential for learning ...
