Not high priority, but I'd love any references or names / key words I could look into it with.

I'm traditional wide comp sci by academic training, but spend my day job as a low-code enabler for non-programmers with varied backgrounds.

The working memory model explains and fits well with what I see them get and struggle with in day to day work, and I'd welcome references I could use to optimize my approach.

An overview of the model and its history: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4207727/

The Wikipedia entry for WM is also very good: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Working_memory

It's a bit tricky to tell what you're doing exactly - perhaps drop me an email if you have any queries (using this account; my original parent post was on a throwaway account because I had login problems).

Check out Anders Ericsson’s book on Deliberate Practice or Barbara Oakley’s A Mind for Numbers.
