Working Memory Model (Baddeley)

The Working Memory Model, proposed by Baddeley, explains how our brain temporarily stores and manages information needed for tasks like learning, reasoning, and problem-solving. It consists of three main parts: the phonological loop (handling sounds and words), the visuospatial sketchpad (managing visual and spatial details), and the central executive (directing attention and coordinating these systems). This model shows that our brain actively processes and manipulates information rather than just holding it passively, allowing us to perform complex mental activities efficiently.
