For repetitive, boring tasks. Not stimulating. Also good for kids with special needs (mental disability, impulsiveness, aggression). Also useful for underachieving kids because they are usually turned off and tuned out.

tells you what to focus on, what other parts should contribute or not
manages your attention/rehearsal

62

Phonological Loop

A

where you rehearse spoken/verbal information

63

A

Focuses on images

64
Q

Episodic Buffer

Takes into account context of information (where, when, how, who, why)

65
Q

Fixed Interval Reinforcement Schedule

A

predictable time. reinforcement after a set period of time

ex: you have a quiz every MONDAY at 12PM (weekly quiz)

66

Variable Interval Reinforcement Schedule

A

inconsistent time. reinforcement after varying lengths of time
ex: pop quiz
may be at a certain time but not on same day, unexpected
