Working memory model

Question 1

Made by

Answer 1

Baddeley + Hitch

Question 2

Baddeley + Hitch argued…

Answer 2

MSM is too simplistic as doesn’t explain process involved as STM is complex

Question 3

Working memory

Answer 3

active at any one time + used to conduct complex tasks

Question 4

Visuo-spatial sketchpad

Answer 4

3-4 objects at a time
inner eye

Question 5

Visuo-spatial sketchpad AO3

Answer 5

LH got into a car accident and suffered from brain damage as a result
- couldn’t recognise faces, objects or describe space but mental rotational abilities unaffected

Question 6

Two slave systems

Answer 6

Visuo-spatial sketchpad + phonological loop

Question 7

Phonological loop

Answer 7

articulatory loop (inner voice) + phonological store (inner ear)

Question 8

Phonological loop AO3

Answer 8

Baddeley
- ppt recall more short than long words - capacity is amount articulated in 1.5-2 secs

Question 9

Central executive AO3

Answer 9

Baddeley + Hitch
- nothing + problem
- the the the + problem
- random numbers + problem - MOST FAILS

CE can only handle one task at a time

Question 10

Cohen at al

Answer 10

brain scans
- study picture
- recite poem
- solve puzzle
-> different lobes activated

Question 11

Episodic buffer

Answer 11

added later to explain how working memory interfaces LTM

Question 12

general AO3

Answer 12

CE = ill defined + reductive
model can’t account for individual differences
