Question 1

Wmm

Answer 1

Badely and hitch on how stm organised and functions
Dynamic processor and actively works and manipulated
Diff stores

Question 2

Central executive

Answer 2

Attention controller> focuses➗ switch attention between tasks
Allocates slave systems
Limited capacity+ duration, modality free, encodes choice
Eg drive and talk so rather hitting= stop talking and focus
Ce diverts attention and priority to drive

Question 3

Phonological loop

Answer 3

Auditory info, order of sound and words
Phonological= words heard and articulatory process= Mr via subv rep
Limited duration, 2s cap, encodes acoustically

V cache= v data and inner scribe= spatial relation of obj
Limited dur, 3 to 4 obj, encode visual
Eg direction = visualise route in vss

Question 5

Episodic buffer

Answer 5

Intergrates acoustic,visual and spatial info
Maintain time seq and record ev like ep
Combine ss from ltm+ links wider process
Limited capacity 4 and dur, modality free

Question 6

Strength

Answer 6

I brain damage supports separate stm stores
J kf STM impairment, 1ds gross imp phon store, visual mem intact
E 2 subsystem verbal and visuospatial relatively independent

Question 7

Counter

Answer 7

Limited to unique indv w specific impairments
Care when generalising findings to wider population

Question 8

Weakness

Answer 8

I prob specifying precise functioning
J els and d removal of brain tumour reasoning and iq was high, coped well with interference= ce well but poor decision eg location to eat
E ce not single as none abilities would be affected
