Working Memory Model Flashcards
The working memory model was proposed by…
… Alan Baddeley and Graham Hitch.
What does the working memory model focus on?
Short-term memory.
What does the system in the STM underlie?
It underlies all thinking (not just memory).
What does the system have a limited capacity for?
To bridge between perception, LTM and action (output).
What is working memory?
A system between perception and long-term memory.
Why does the working memory system have to have storage for the information?
For it to then enter the LTM store.
What does the model do with STM?
It splits it into different areas.
The working memory system requires something as a control. Why?
To sort information into the different storage areas.
What is working memory concerned with?
Thinking
What does thinking involve?
- reasoning
- understanding
- learning
More research done into STM as?
A separate system from LTM.
What developed was a model of memory that has…
… temporary sensory registers flowing into a limited capacity short-term store.
How many components were proposed for the STM by Baddeley & Hitch?
3 components.
The model concludes that STM isn’t just?
1 system.
