The working memory model (WMM)
The working memory model (WMM) is an explanation of memory that sees STM as an active store holding several pieces of information simultaneously

Central executive (CE)
The central executive (CE) is a component of the WMM that:
1. Oversees
2. Coordinates
the components of working memory
The working memory model (WMM) is concerned with the part of the mind that is what when we are doing what?
The working memory model (WMM) is concerned with the part of the mind that is active when we are temporarily:
1. Storing
