Question 85

Julian is a logistics coordinator at a busy cargo shipping port. During peak shipping hours, he has been experiencing severe cognitive difficulties that impact his performance:

  • He frequently misremembers numerical container codes spoken to him over his radio headset, particularly when codes sound similar (e.g., "D-3" and "T-3"), or if a colleague speaks to him while he is trying to mentally rehearse a code.
  • He struggles to mentally visualize the layout of the shipping yard while simultaneously tracking the physical movement of cargo trucks on a live map.
  • When forced to multitask—such as updating a digital manifest while listening to emergency instructions—he becomes overwhelmed, loses track of what he was doing, and makes critical scheduling errors.
  • He struggles to combine his knowledge of the port's long-term backlog with the immediate real-time arrivals to coordinate a coherent plan.

Evaluate how well the Working Memory Model can explain Julian's situation.
