features of each store

Question 1

who came up w WMM

Answer 1

Badeley and Hitch 1974

Question 2

name the components of WMM

Answer 2

central executive
/\
Visuo-spatual Phonological
sketchpad loop
(middel) episodic buffer
ltm

Question 3

what is the role of Central executive

5x

Answer 3

-drives the whol system
-deal with problem solving
-capacity is limited
-cant store info
-allocates data to subsystem

Question 4

what is the role of Visuo-spatual skatchpad?

Answer 4

-naviagtion-
Logie 1995 devided into
1. visual cache (form, color)
2. Inner scribe (spatual re-ship)

capacity - 3-4 objects

Question 5

what is the role of Phonological loop?

Answer 5

1. Phonological store = inner ear
   capacity = 2 sec
   2 . Articulatory process = inner voice

Question 6

what is the role of Episodic Buffer?

Answer 6

info from CE goes here, as it has the capasity of 4 chunks of info,
it integrates info from all three strores,
sends info to LTM

Question 7

eval 1 top

Answer 7

main reason for developing WMM -to show dual performance of tasks

Question 8

eval 1 point

Answer 8

task 1 = occupied CE (‘B followed by A’ statement and shown two letters ‘AB’, asked True/false)
task 2 = occupied either onlt articulary loop (saying ‘the the the’)
or articulary and CE (saying random difgits)

as a result task 1 was slower if task 2 involved second option

Question 9

eval 1 tail

Answer 9

showing proof for CE as a component and supporting the idea of dual task performance effect

Question 10

eval 2 top

Answer 10

evidence for phonological store ad visual cache being placed in two dif places

Question 11

eval 2 point

Answer 11

KF.
brain damage,form a motorcycle accident.
damaged stm
impeirnmnet was mainly for verbal info,while visual info was large;y uneffected.
Auditory problems were limited to info like verbal letters, but but not to meaningful sounds like phone rings

Question 12

eval 2 tail

Answer 12

there are separate STM components for visual inf anf for verbal
they are stored in dif places
are independent

Question 13

eval 2 double

Answer 13

however, this was discovered trhpugh case study
limiting sample
individual differnces
his damamge couldve been caused by the damage of ohter areas as well

Question 14

eval 3 top

Answer 14

Eslinger and Damasio studied EVR
there might be several components to CE

Question 15

eval 3 point

Answer 15

EVR had a cerebral tumour removed.
when he was given reasoning tasks = he coped well (function of CE)
while when he had to make decisions (also function of CE) he was taking hours = even if the decision was what to eat for breakfast.

Question 16

eval 3 tail

Answer 16

suggestin CE wasnt fully damaged, therefore there can be subsystems for CE
showing that WMM is too simplisitc
but it is aslo a huge support that CE exists in stm system
