The Working Memory Model Flashcards
What is the working memory model?
A representation of the STM that suggests it is a dynamic processor of different types of information using sub-units coordinated by a central decision-making system.
What are the four main components in the WMM?
Central executive, phonological loop, visuo-spatial sketchpad, episodic buffer.
What is the central executive?
The component that coordinates the activities of the three subsystems in memory.
What is the phonological loop?
The component that processes information in terms of sound and is divided into the phonological store and the articulatory process.
What is the visuo-spatial sketchpad?
The component that processes visual and spatial information in a mental space.
What is the episodic buffer?
The component that
