In 1974, psychologists Alan Baddeley and Graham Hitch revolutionised our understanding of short-term memory with their Working Memory Model, proposing that our minds are not just passive storage systems but dynamic workspaces where information is actively processed and manipulated. At its core lies the Central Executive, a flexible, attentional control system that directs focus, integrates information, and coordinates our cognitive resources. Supporting it are two key “slave systems”: the Phonological Loop, which handles verbal and auditory information, our inner voice rehearsing words, remembering names, or learning languages, and the Visuospatial Sketchpad, which stores and manipulates visual and spatial data, enabling us to navigate environments or imagine scenes. Later refinements introduced an Episodic Buffer (Baddeley, 2000) to integrate information across domains and link working memory to long-term memory. This model not only reshaped cognitive psychology but also offers insights into personal wellbeing and societal health: by understanding and strengthening our working memory, we enhance focus, problem-solving, and emotional regulation, skills vital for learning, empathy, and resilience. A society that nurtures these cognitive capacities fosters creativity, compassion, and collective intelligence, empowering individuals to thrive in an increasingly complex world. This model reminds us of the complexity of psychological processes and the intricacy of the soul’s design. Such models can help us explain such amazing processes, highly complex psychic interactions for which we give thanks and praise to God, saying with the psalmist, “I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, and that my soul knows very well” (Psalm 139:14).
