Preferred term

episodic buffer  

Definition

  • In Baddeley's model of working memory, the episodic buffer is a temporary system with a limited storage capacity for multimodal information. It is involved in integrating information from other subsystems of working memory and from long-term memory to create a unified episodic representation (Baddeley, 2000).
