50 years ago Alan Baddeley and Graham Hitch propelled the term #workingmemory into the psychological lexicon, with a vision that still resonates today! This editorial with Mark Hurlstone, @amyatkinson.bsky.social , Satoru Saito and Robert Logie, reflects on that remarkable contribution in 1974.

Research has demonstrated that individuals can direct their attention to valuable information in both working memory and long-term memory tasks with observable effects on performance. However, it is c...
