Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Baddeley's model of working memory proposes that working memory is composed of three basic components: the phonological loop, the visuospatial sketchpad, and the central executive. This suggests that working memory is composed of separable sub-systems, making option B the correct answer. Option A is incorrect because working memory is necessary for a working cognition system. Option C is incorrect because the phonological loop is just one of the sub-systems in working memory. Option D is incorrect because previous models of working memory have contributed to our understanding of the concept.
