Here is my attempt at a metaphorical image combining Baddley's Model of Working Memory (specifically Dual Task Paradigms) and Information Processing Theory. The relationship is depicted by the picture. With Dual Task Paradigms, simultaneous actions will complicate the acquisition of information. The motorcycle driving quickly down the road: the road is blurry, while the environment is hard to really focus on. The motorcyclist is responsible for many tasks and cannot focus on just one task at the time (As that would be extremely dangerous). As you look at the picture, you can see holes in the image and see the desktop to a computer. You can also see the frame and Keyboard of the laptop. This represents Information Processing Theory. This theory tells us that our brain is like a computer when analyzing information. Because this is a laptop displaying the image, the overarching theme is IPT and the portion of Baddeley's model of working memory (Dual Task Paradigms) is working within IPT.
