Working Memory Model

Question 1

what are the components of the WMM

Answer 1

central executive
episodic buffer
phological loop > phonological store + articulatory C
visuospatial SP > inner scribe + visual cache
LTM

Question 2

whats the function of central executive

Answer 2

controls attention and receives sense information and filters

Question 3

function of the phonological loop

Answer 3

processes auditory coded information (sound)

Question 4

what are the three subsystems in WMM

Answer 4

phonological loop
episodic buffer
visio-spatial sketch pad

Question 5

what are the stores within the phonological loop and their functions

Answer 5

phonological store > inner ear; holds the most recently heard words
articulatory process > inner voice; holds info via subvocal repetition

Question 6

describe capacity in central executive

Answer 6

limited

Question 7

describe capacity in phonological loop

Answer 7

limited capacity

Question 8

function of episodic buffer

Answer 8

general store which holds and integrates info from all other subsystems

Question 9

function of visio-spatial sketch pad

Answer 9

processes visual and spatially coded info

Question 10

what are the two subsystems within the visuo-spatial sketch pad and their functions

Answer 10

visual cache > a passive store o form and colour
inner scribe > active store holding the info ab relationships between objects in 3D space
