FIGURE 6.3 Baddeley’s Model of Working Memory: How Do I Get to Marty’s House? Suppose you are trying to figure out the fastest way to get to a friend’s house. In Baddeley’s model of working memory, you would use the phonological loop to verbally recite the directions. Maintenance rehearsal helps keep the information active in the phonological loop. You would use the visuospatial sketchpad to imagine your route and any landmarks along the way. The central executive actively processes and integrates information from the phonological loop, the visuospatial sketchpad, and long-term memory.
