[[memory_models:Human Working Memory]] | + | - Human working memory has a limited capacity of 7±2 or 4±1 chunks of information. A chunk is an unit operated as a whole and it has a different meaning for an expert and for a novice. [[memory_models:Human Working Memory]] |
- | - Human working memory has four components: phonological loop, visuospatial sketchpad, episodic buffer and central executive. Visuospatial sketchpad and phonological loop allow paralel processing of visual and auditive information.
