The working model of the brain’s processes devised by Baddeley and Sweller has been shown through experimentation to deliver the outcomes expected; that is, the model appears to be accurate. Given that items passing only through working memory are quickly forgotten, yet complex combinations of knowledge can be recalled and applied after many years, it is clear that learning involves storage in long term memory. The final part of the definition concerns the process by which learning takes place, which as Sweller has been able to show, is a matter of transition of items from working memory to long term memory. This arises through the active experiencing of items in the short term memory. This can be the result of teaching, of study or of exposure to stimuli. In each case the items are processed or combined before being stored as schemas in the long term memory.
