Working memory model Flashcards
Centeral executive
Defenition
Monitors and coordinates all mental functions in working memory model
Epesodic buffer
defenition
Recives information and temporarily stores it before it figures out where to send it
Phonological loop
Defenition
codes speech sounds and it involves maintenance rehersal. It is divided into Phonological store (inner ear) and the articulatory process (inner voice)
Visio spacial sketchapd
Defenition
Codes for visual information for seperate objects and the arrangment of these.
It is seperated into visual cache (information likeform and colour) and Inner scribe (spacial relationships)
Working memory model
Study
Baddely and Hitch (1974) proposed this model as they believed STM had more than 1 single store
Working memory model
Centeral executive
An attentional process to monitor incoming data from the senses and LTM.
It determines how the slave systems allocate tasks.
It has very limited capacity so it cannot attend to many things at once
Multi store model
Phonological loop
This slave system deals with audio information and preserves it.
It is subdivided to
