“…Different models of WM vary in their specific theoretical conceptualization (Miyake, 2001; Miyake & Shah, 1999; Sagarra, 2013) 1 but generally agree that WM is a limited-capacity construct that regulates online processing, storage, and retrieval. While these models have valuably contributed to our understanding of WM, the domain-specific, multiple-resource model (Baddeley, 1986, 2000, 2003, 2007, 2010; Baddeley & Hitch, 1974; Baddeley & Logie, 1999) remains dominant in the field (Miyake, 2001; Wen, Mota, & McNeill, 2015). This model posits a “nonunitary” view of WM with specialized processing and storage components that comprise a domain-general construct (i.e., executive function, EF) responsible for various attentional functions (e.g., inhibiting, switching, and retrieving information), and two domain-specific storage systems, the phonological loop (i.e., phonological working memory, PWM) that handles phonological and verbal information and has a span of about 1 to 2 seconds (Baddeley, 1986, 2003), and the visuospatial sketchpad, in charge of visual and spatial information.…”
