Working Memory Model Flashcards
Who created the working memory model
Baddeley and hitch
What part of the model was not in the original?
When was it added?
Episodic buffer
2000-2001 by baddeley
What are the for parts of the model?
Central executive
episodic buffer
Phonological loop
Visual spatial sketchpad
Which part of the model handles acoustic information.
Phonological loop
What part of the model stores visual information?
Visuospatial sketchpad
What does the central executive do?
Drives the system,
divides attention,
Allocates information to the two slave systems
What does the central executive do?
Drives the system,
divides attention,
Allocates information to the two slave systems
What are the two parts of the phonological loop?
What do they do?
——-Phonological store/inner ear-——
-stores how it sounds (pitch, amplitude)
-articular rehearsal system/inner voice-
- Stores based on how it’s said
- Getting confused with lots of similar sounding things
What does the episodic do?
General stores, Integrates information into the slave systems, has limited storage space, effectively a bottlenecking filter
What is the working memory model a model of?
The short term memory
What does the visuospatial sketchpad do?
-deals with visual and special materials
-inner eye(size, shape, colour)
-used for planning and coordination
Applications of WMM
-dyslexia tests - non verbal tests
