working memory Flashcards
Working Memory
Baddeley and Hitch
STM is a flexible system
number of different stores
The central executive
problem showing/ decision making
controls attention and planning
limited capacity
The phonological loop store
Phonological loop- inner ear allows acoustically coded items
The articulatory process - inner voice silently repeated
The visio spatial sketch pad
inner eye - mental images
limited capacity
The episodic buffer
general store, both visual and acoustic
KF study
brain damage could no longer make acoustic memories only visual
Baddeley and Hitch
Experiment showed auditory process and central executive worked at the same time. suggesting they are in different store.
Centeral exective is too vague
EVR tumour removed- good with reasoning
