Working Memory
Psychologists have been trying to understand the factors that form the basis for children’s success and failure in different educational domains for many years. One psychological function that has been found to play an important role in educational achievement is working memory, the processes involved in the temporary maintenance and manipulation of information. Working memory provides a temporary storage that underpins our capacity for complex thought. Individuals differ in the capacity of their various working memory sub-systems in ways that influence scholastic achievement.
Components of Working Memory
According to the multicomponent model, working memory has four sub components.
- The phonological loop, a system for holding and manipulating sound and speech.
- The visuo-spatial sketchpad, which performs a similar role for non-verbal material.
- The central executive, an attentional control system that selects and operates strategies.
- The Episodic Buffer, which acts as a backup store which communicates with both long-term memory and the components of working memory.
