workinb memory model Flashcards
who created the working memory model
baddeley and hitch
name 3 components of working memory model
central executive
episodic buffer
phonological loop
phonological store
visio spacial sketchpad
innerscribe
visual cache
What is the role of the central executive
Pays attention to the senses and passes information to others
What are the three slave systems
Phonological loop
Visiospacial sketchpad
Episodic buffer
What does the articulatory control system
Processes speech production and rehearses and stores information from the phonological store
What is the role of the phonological store
Process speech perception and stores spoken words for 1-2 seconds
What is the roe of the inner scribe
Spatial relationship between objects
What role does the visual cache have
Stores visual information such as shape and colour
What role does the episodic buffer have
Binds and integrates all information from components and send it to the long term memory.
What is two strengths of the working memory model
The support of patient kf, showing there’s more than one stm store, as he couldn’t store acoustic info but could visual
Dual task research shows the vs sketchpad and p loop can work at the same time
What is a limitation of the working memory model
The central executive is underdeveloped - not enough research and suggested there might be subcomponents not just ‘attention’
