Working memory model Flashcards
1
Q
Phonological loop
A
Auditory information- phonological store and articulatory process (maintenance rehearsal)
2
Q
Central executive
A
Coordinates slave systems and allocates resources, very limited storage
3
Q
Visuo-spatial sketchpad
A
Visual info- visual store and inner scribe
4
Q
Episodic buffer
A
Brings together material from other subsystems into single memory and bridge between working memory and LTM
5
Q
Evaluation
A
Clinical evidence Dual-task performance Lack of clarity over CE Studies of word-length effect support PL Brain scanning supports WMM
6
Q
What is the WMM?
A
Dynamic processing in short-term memory
7
Q
What are the four parts to WMM?
A
Episodic buffer, central executive, visual spatial sketch pad and phonological loop
8
Q
What does the phonological loop consist of?
A
Articulatory control system and phonological store
