Reading around for the textbook on memory that I'm working on (to be finished this year so watch this space folks...) and I'm enjoying the figures in Gordon Bower's classic 1970 article on mnemonic techniques.

We’ve just submitted a manuscript with a new visualisation of the multi component working memory model. Hopefully it’ll be a useful addition.
Reminds me of the earlier visualisation which we first published in 2011, based on this initial hand-drawn sketch (which I still have!).
