What is central executive
Attentional controller
Controls the mental resources via two slave systems
How does the eslinger and damasio a weakness for wmm
Suggest that central executive is not one store but multiple stores wmm doesn’t explain this
Surgery brain tumor
Can do reasoning tasks can’t do decision making tasks
What’s the strength of wmm
Shalice and Warrington
Kf suffered from short term memory impairment
He had digit span of one suggesting that most impairment went to the phonological store but his visual memory was intact
