working memory model

Question 1

who was the model devised by?

Answer 1

baddeley and hitch

Question 2

what part of the memory does the model look at?

Answer 2

short term memory

Question 3

why was the model created?

Answer 3

believed that short term memory was not one unitary store

it is an active process that manipuplates information

Question 4

how many systems are there in the wmm?

Answer 4

three

Question 5

what are the systems in the wmm?

Answer 5

the central executive
phonological loop
visuospatial sketchpad

Question 6

what is the central executive?

Answer 6

very key component in the model
it acts as a boss
it has the capacity to focus divide and switch attention
allocates information to specific slave systems
chooses what to focus on

Question 7

what kinds of tasks can the CE deal with?

Answer 7

cognitive tasks such as problem solving

Question 8

what is the phonological loop split into to?

Answer 8

the phonological store

articulatory control syste

Question 9

what is the PL?

Answer 9

it deals with spoken and written information

Question 10

what is the PS?

Answer 10

acts as the inner ear

holds information about speech based information

Question 11

how long can speech based info be held in the PS?

Answer 11

1-2 seconds

Question 12

what is the ACS?

Answer 12

it is the inner voice

it is used to rehearse information from the PL

Question 13

what is the inner ear?

Answer 13

the PS

Question 14

what is the inner voice?

Answer 14

ACS

Question 15

what is the inner eye?

Answer 15

visuosplatial sketchpad

Question 16

what is the visuospatial sketchpad?

Answer 16

stores and manipulates visual information from the eye and ltm

Question 17

what is the VSS split into?

Answer 17

the visual cache

inner scribe

Question 18

what does the visual cache do?

Answer 18

deal with information about form and colour

Question 19

what doe the inner scribe do?

Answer 19

deals with spatial information and rehearses information

Question 20

what does the wmm suggest about doing tasks?

Answer 20

that it is easier to do 1 visual and 1 verbal task

Question 21

what are the two predictions from the model?

Answer 21

that id two tasks use the same component it is impossible for them to successfully work together
2 diff takss is good

Question 22

what was added 26 years later/

Answer 22

the eposodic buffer

Question 23

what is the episodic buffer?

Answer 23

binds all information from each system togeterh and linked time and order

Question 24

when was it made?

Answer 24

1974

Question 25

which case study supports?

Answer 25

KF
brain damage to short term memory
found it difficult to process verbal info but his visual part of memory remained in tact

Question 26

how is brain scans a support?

Answer 26

brain scans have shown that visual and acoustic encoding occur in different parts of the brain
objectivity

Question 27

why do lab experiments support?

Answer 27

dual task experiements
