Q

What is the role of the episodic buffer?

A

Temp store for info that integrates visual, spatial and verbal information from other stores
Maintains sense of time sequencing, records events that are happening and then links to LTM

Q

Who added the episodic buffer?

A

Baddeley in 2000

16
Q

What is the strength that suggests the WMM has support from clinical evidence?

A
  • Shallice + Warrington studied patient KF who had brain injury
  • STM for auditory info was poor bc of damaged phonological loop but could process visual information normally
  • Supports WMM view that there are separate visual and acoustic memory stores
17
Q

What did Shallice + Warrington argue was a strength of WMM?

A

There is evidence for separate visual and acoustic stores bc patient KF had poor STM for auditory info due to damaged phonological loop but could process visual info normally

18
Q

What is the strength of the WMM that suggests dual task performance studies support the visuospatial sketchpad?

A
  • Baddeley’s ppts found it harder to carry out two visual tasks at same time than do one verbal and one visual
  • Both visual tasks compete for the same subsystem but there is no competition with the verbal and visual one
  • Evident there must be separate VSS and PL
19
Q

What did Baddeley argue as a strength of the WMM?

A

His ppts found it difficult to do two visual tasks at same time rather than one visual one verbal proving separate VSS and PL

20
Q

What is the limitation of the WMM that suggests there is lack of clarity over the central executive?

A
  • Baddeley said that the CE was most important but least understood component of the WMM (there must be more to it than attention)
  • Unsatisfactory component and challenges integrity of the model
21
Q

What did Baddeley argue was a limitation of the WMM?

A

The CE is most important but least understood component and there must be more to it than attention

22
Q

What is the debate about the WMM?

A
  • Show that there must be separate components processing visual and verbal information
  • These studies are in controlled conditions and use tasks that are unlike everyday memory tasks
  • Challenges validity of the model because it is not certain that the WMM acts this way in everyday situations
23
Q

Who are the key thinkers in the WMM?

A

Baddeley + Hitch
Shallice + Warrington
Baddeley et al
Baddeley

24
Q

What are the titles of the evaluation points of the WMM?

A
  • Support from clinical evidence
  • Support from dual task performance studies
  • Lack of clarity over CE
  • Debate (unlike everyday)
