Modal Model
Modal model refers to a specific conception of the 'arhitecture' of memory.
In this model, working memory serves both as the storage site for material now being contemplated, and also the 'loading platform' for long-term memory.
Information can reach working memory through the processes of perception, or it can be drawn from long-term memory.
Once in working memory, material can be further processed, or can simply be 'recycled' for subsequent use.
