Abstract

Working memory is the theoretical basis of cognitive load theory and multimedia learning theory. It provides a basis for us to understand the nature and process of learning, design and develop learning resource environment, and develop and construct new learning theories. In this paper, CiteSpace software is used to analyze the knowledge map and content of internationally important working memory research literature data, to reveal the current research status and future development trends of international working memory. The study found that the research of working memory originated from the discussion of human memory structure, and think it is not comprehensive to use short-term memory to describe the temporary storage of information by people, for it also involves the manipulation and processing of information, and the concept of working memory is proposed. In the past 20 years, working memory research has focused on seven aspects: disease damage, cognitive control, ability performance, individual differences, memory models, experimental methods and brain activation. Finally, the paper discusses the current limitations of working memory research, and discusses some issues that need to be focused on in the future of working memory research, and its implications for the design and development of instructional design principles, learning theory construction and learning environment.
