Karen Doyle · Answer 1

The correct answer is the sketchpad.

According to this model of working memory, proposed by Baddeley and Hitch in 1974, the sketchpad refers to visual and spatial data we gather about the world around us. So, when Micah is trying to remember the exact route to the library he took the previous night, he is actually accessing his sketchpad in order to do that.

The correct answer is visual sketchpad. This is a component of the working memory model by which it is the section of an individual’s normal mental facility that is associated and provides the person with virtual environment for the sake of visualization, physical stimulation or even optical memory recall.
