MEMORY: The Working Model of Memory Flashcards
Who made the WMM
Baddeley and Hitch
What is WMM
Explanation of how STM organised and how it functions
wmm concerned with …
mental space and how its active when we are temporarily storing and manipulating info
e.g understanding another language
Name the 4 components of teh WMM
central executive
phonological loop
visuo spatial sketchpad
episodic Buffer
Central executive has what type of role
supervisory role
what 3 things does CE do
monitor incoming data
focuses and divides our limited attention
allocates subsystems to tasks
Describe processing capacity of CE
limited processing capacity
How does CE store info
TRICK QUESTION HAHA cause it doesn’t store info
What does the phonological loop deal with and therefore what type of coding
auditory info so coding is acoustic
What does the phonological loop preserve
the order which infor arrives
What is the phonological loop subdivided into
phonological store
articulatory process
What does the phonological store store
store the words you hear
What does the articulatory process allow
maintainenance rehersal - repeating words in a loop to keep em in wm whilst needed
What is the capacity of the articulatory process
two seconds worth of what you can say
What do vss do
store visual and/or spatial information when required
give an example of when you’d use vss
working how many windows there are on your house as you visualise it
Describe the capcity of the vss
limited
according to Baddeley the capacity of the VSS is what #wise
3/4 objects
robert logie divided the VSS into
visual cache
inner scribe
What does the visual cache do
stores visual data
What does the inner scribe do
records arrangment of objects in teh visual field
When was the Episodic Buffer made
2000
What is the EB
Temporary store of information
integrating the visual, spatial and verbal info processed by other stores
and recordng events that are happenin
what are the 2 functino of EB
integrating
recording
