Random Access Memory – RAM. Where information is stored temporarily when a program is run. Information is automatically pulled into memory‚ we cannot control this. RAM is cleared automatically when the computer is shutdown or rebooted. RAM is volatile (non-permanent). b. Read Only Memory – ROM. More permanent than RAM. Data stored in these chips is nonvolatile -- it is not lost when power is removed. Data stored in these chips is either unchangeable or requires a special operation to change

Alan Baddley’s working memory model explains what goes on inside the short-term memory and the working memory. It consists of two temporary storages for short-term memory depending on the type of information. The visuospatial sketchpad stores the visual and spatial images for manipulation. The phonological loop maintains auditory memory by speech rehearsal. Visual/spatial images and auditory information are stored in separate locations in working memory. Another component in Baddley’s model is the
