You have a limit to your internal mental voice.
The phonological loop was introduced as a model component by Baddeley and Hitch in 1974, but the finding that its capacity is limited by rehearsal/pronunciation time was demonstrated by Baddeley in 1975.
Change the citation from 1974 to 1974/1975 to distinguish between the model's inception and the empirical validation of its capacity constraints.
