=== Episodic Buffer ===
The episodic buffer is something that was added to Baddeley’ s working model in memory in the year 2000.<ref name=":1" />
In his initial paper, Baddeley detailed what he believes to be the biological functioning, ___location, and purpose of the episodic buffer.<ref name=":1" /> The purpose of the episodic buffer is to serve as a bridge between both Working memory and Long-Term-Memory, specifically Episodic Memory. It is believed to be more temporary in its storage capabilities, but nonetheless helps form new information and lasting memory. Since it combines several elements of memory, one could in theory say it is a distributed system.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Baddeley|first=Alan|date=November 2000|title=The episodic buffer: a new component of working memory?|journal=Trends in Cognitive Sciences|language=en|volume=4|issue=11|pages=417–423|doi=10.1016/S1364-6613(00)01538-2|pmid=11058819|s2cid=14333234}}</ref>The limits of its abilities in storage have yet to be determined. Other issues include identifying the differences between the Episodic Buffer and Episodic Memory, as well as showing how important and essential the Episodic Buffer is to the Working Model of Memory.

===Childhood Amnesia===
Childhood amnesia is a phenomenon that ranges from the age of 3–8 years of age.<ref name="ReferenceA">{{Cite book|title=Handbook of child psychology and developmental science|others=Lerner, Richard M.|date = 31 March 2015|isbn=978-1-118-95296-2|edition=Seventh|___location=Hoboken, New Jersey|oclc=888026377}}</ref> This phenomenon occurs when a child has forgotten memories and cannot recall them.
[[Infantile amnesia]] is the tendency to have few autobiographical memories from below the age of 2–4. This can be attributed to lack of [[memory rehearsal]] as young children do not engage in rehearsal of remembered information. There are two theoretical explanations for why this may occur; although they take different approaches, they are not [[mutually exclusive]] of each other.<ref name="PsychBook">{{cite book|last=Robinson-Riegler; Robinson-Riegler|first=Bridget; Gregory|title=Cognitive Psychology: Applying the Science of the Mind|year=2012|publisher=Pearson Education Inc. as Allyn & Bacon|___location=75 Arlington Street, Suite 300, Boston, MA|isbn=978-0-205-17674-8|pages=272–276; 295–296; 339–346|edition=Third}}</ref> The development of a cognitive self is also thought by some to have an effect on encoding and storing early memories.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=MB_PBwAAQBAJ&pg=PA218&lpg=PA218&dq=The+development+of+a+cognitive+self+is+also+thought+by+some+to+have+an+effect+on+encoding+and+storing+early+memories&source=bl&ots=sSw1xhUFaY&sig=tGznp7eKE58c--jLd1Mo0FF6lG0&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwit0Ij03u7LAhWCOSYKHfMUCdUQ6AEIKDAC#v=onepage&q=The%20development%20of%20a%20cognitive%20self%20is%20also%20thought%20by%20some%20to%20have%20an%20effect%20on%20encoding%20and%20storing%20early%20memories&f=false Handbook of Child Psychology and Developmental Science, Cognitive Processes]{{full citation needed|date=August 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal |last1=Loftus |first1=Elizabeth F. |title=Desperately seeking memories of the first few years of childhood: The reality of early memories |journal=Journal of Experimental Psychology: General |volume=122 |issue=2 |year=1993 |pages=274–7 |doi=10.1037/0096-3445.122.2.274 |pmid=8315402}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal |last1=Usher |first1=JoNell A. |last2=Neisser |first2=Ulric |title=Childhood amnesia and the beginnings of memory for four early life events |journal=Journal of Experimental Psychology: General |volume=122 |issue=2 |year=1993 |pages=155–65 |doi=10.1037/0096-3445.122.2.155 |pmid=8315398}}</ref>
