working memory model Flashcards
what is the wmm
modification of msm. it sees stm as an active processing area rather than a passive store of information. it sees stm as multiple stores rather than a unitary store
where does information from the environment enter
central executive
what is the central executive
it allocates information to the store needed and also has a role in cognitive tasks eg.decision making
where does the visual information go
visuo-spatial sketchpad
what does the visuo-spatial sketchpad do
holds visuo-spatial information so acoustic and visual information can be processed simultaneously
what 2 categories can vssp be seperated into
visual cache/inner scribe
what does the visual cache store
colour/shape
what does the inner scribe store
relationships/movement
where does acoustic information go
phonological loop
what does the phonological loop do
processes acoustic information
what 2 categories can phonological loop be seperated into
phonological store/articulatory control system
what does the articulatory control system do
enables items to be held for longer through verbal rehearsal.it converts written words to acoustic code to be transferred to the ps.
what does the phonological store do
sound based store that holds items for 2-3 seconds.spoken words enter directly
what is the episodic buffers role
holds information from ltm.it explains chunking as it has storage for it.
which case study supports wmm
kf
