Definition
- Conceptualization of working memory as a “concentric structure of representations with three functionally distinct regions […] : 1. The activated part of long-term memory can serve, among other things, to memorize information over brief periods for later recall. 2. The region of direct access holds a limited number of chunks available to be used in ongoing cognitive processes. 3. The focus of attention holds at any time the one chunk that is actually selected as the object of the next cognitive operation.”(Oberauer, 2002, p. 412).
