Memory models Flashcards
What are the key stages in Baddley + Hitch’s model?
Input -> Short term sensory store -> Selective attention -> Short Term memory -> Long term memory
What are the key stages in Whittings Information processing Model?
Perceptual mechanism -> Translatory mechanism -> Effector mechanism
What is the Perceptual mechanism also known as?
(Whitting)
stimulus identification
What is the Translatory mechanism also known as?
(Whittings)
response selection
What is the Effector mechanism also known as?
(Whittings)
response reprogramming
What happens in the Perceptual mechanism ?
- make sense of incoming info
- selective attention occurs
- coding of important info -> stimulus is identified
What happens in the Translatory mechanism?
Decision making
- information compared against memory
- appropriate motor programme selected
What happens in the Effector mechanism?
- puts motor programme into effect
- sends impulse to muscular system in order for movement to occur
What does the working memory model show?
What happens in short term memory
What are the key parts of the working memory model?
Central executive
Phonological loop
Visuospatial sketchpad
Episodic buffer
What is the phonological loop?
Deals with spoken + written material, split into 2 parts
Phonological store
(inner ear)
- linked to speech perception
- hold info in speech form for 1-2s
Articulatory control process
(inner voice)
- linked to speech production
- used to rehearse + store verbal info
What is the central executive?
The control centre of the working memory
- uses other 3 systems to control all the info moving in + out of memory system
What is the visuospatial sketchpad?
Inner eye
- deals with visual + spatial info
- stores + processes info in a visual + spatial form
- displays + manipulates visual info stored in LTM
What is the episodic buffer?
Links visuospatial sketchpad + phonological loop
- holds info temporarily
- allows visual + audio info to be chunked together
Acts as a ‘backup’ store which communicates with LTM + working memory
Phonological loop AO2 points
hearing coach
listening to teammates
Central executive AO2 points
hearing crowd, teammates + then selecting relevant info via selective attention
Visuospatial sketchpad AO2 points
where teammates are positioned
where defenders are
Episodic buffer AO2 points
info sent to long term memory
pulls out motor programmes and initiate them
