The working memory model proposed by Baddeley and Hitch has frequently been used in cognitive psychology and neuropsychological studies. This model consists of several interacting components, responsible for the storage and processing of the information stored in working memory. Many neuropsychological and functional imagery data are consistent with that formulation of working memory. Moreover, many cognitive tasks have been specifically designed to explore particular aspects of working memory functioning. Taken as a whole, these data confirm that the working memory model remains a useful theoretical framework to explore memory functioning both in normal subjects and in pathological conditions.
