I decided to interpret the relationship between these theories using a hierarchical visual. The circles represent the way Baddeley's Episodic Buffer Theory describe the action each type of memory takes. The trapezoids represent how the designer should design information for each type of memory. This visual intends to show why designers should design information due to the action each type of memory performs.
Janie, this makes sense. My only question pertains to the visual isolation of short-term and long-term memory on your diagram. Your diagram implies that they are isolated from each other. If this isn't the case, you probably would want to find a way to show how they are related.
