Working Memory Model Flashcards
1
Q

A
- An alternative to STM.
- Hold and manipulate information.
2
Q
What are the 4 components of the Working Memory Model?
A
- Central Executive
- Episode Buffer
- Phonological Loop
- Visuospatial Sketchpad
3
Q
What is the Central Executive?
A
Controlling system that monitors and coordinates other components
4
Q
What is the Episodic Buffer?
A
A limited, temporary storage system between other components
5
Q
What is the Phonological Loop?
A
- Handles verbal and auditory.
- Has the articulatory control system (the “inner voice”) and the phonological store (the “inner ear”).
6
