2.1.2 The working memory model (Baddeley and Hitch, 1974) including the phonological loop, central executive, visual- spatial sketchpad, episodic buffer.
Use - working memory model to connect the rule to the data and decision in the question.
This matters because - working memory model determines what can be inferred or chosen; begin with the stated conditions and keep the conclusion tied to the evidence.
Example: apply - working memory model to one small, clearly defined case, show the key step or comparison, and explain the result in words.
Boundary: - Working memory model is not a universal recommendation. Check the syllabus scope, assumptions, units and the limits of the evidence before generalising.
