Is working memory still working
- Biology
- 2001
The current state of A.D. Hitch’s (1974) multicomponent working memory model is reviewed and a proposed clarification in which the executive is assumed to be a limited capacity attentional system, aided by a newly postulated fourth system, the episodic buffer.
Is working memory still working?
- BiologyThe American psychologist
- 2001
Hitch's multicomponent working memory model has proved valuable in accounting for data from a wide range of participant groups under a rich array of task conditions and on the processes allowing the integration of information from the component subsystems.
The role of the episodic buffer in working memory for language processing
- Psychology, BiologyCognitive Processing
- 2007
Although the episodic buffer is not necessarily supported by executive processes and seems to be supported by different neural networks, it may operate in tandem with the central executive during effortful language processing and may suggest engagement of the phonological loop during buffer processing.
Working memory and Down syndrome.
- PsychologyJournal of intellectual disability research : JIDR
- 2007
A brief account is given of the evolution of the concept of working memory from a unitary store into a multicomponent system, and the operation of the model is illustrated through an account of a research programme concerned with the analysis ofWorking memory in Down syndrome.
Modulation of working memory

The possibility that specific deficits in working memory might provide a cognitive marker of risk for neurodegeneration and development of Parkinson’s disease is discussed.

It is argued that large-scale multimodal integration of information creates an ‘episodic buffer’, and may even suffice for implementing a central executive.
