Intelligence Scale for Adults–Fourth Edition (Wechsler‚ 2008). The total digit score‚ which is a composite of the child’s forward and backward spans‚ is a measure of working memory.

They found that participants could recall considerably more short words.

only achieved by the knowledge that an individual already possesses. In humans‚ short term memory is stored in the brain in such a way that it helps in learning and organising memory by lexical‚ input and output of phonemic information. Information that is stored in the short-term memory is received by nodes and is relayed when selected (Brugess‚ 1999). Farrell (2008) found evidence for a connection between short-term memory and the time and order of information. His results showed that participants

The definition not only points to the notion of mere accumulation of knowledge‚ but also to the fact that expertise is something that‚ aside from being “inside the head”‚ is an attribute that can be estimated both externally and in objective terms. And while the measurable quality that is also part of what constitutes what we understand by talent shouldn’t be ignored‚ it encompasses other‚ more internal elements that have to do with specific skills acquired through training‚ a formalised aggregation

For example‚ Baddeley suggested if we imagine an elephant playing ice hockey‚ we have to draw out images stored in long term memory and combine them into a moving image. The working memory model is good and is an improvement over the multi-store model. It demonstrates how the short term memory works because it explains how we can store information briefly and simultaneously manipulate it‚ for example‚ mental arithmetic. This shows that the model has
