who made it
A
Baddeley and hitch
2

what does it explain
A
short term memory
3
Q
5 stores
A
central executive visuo spatio sketchpad phonological loop episodic buffer long term memory
4

A
temporary store
9

10
Q
3 supporting things for WMM
A
shallice and warrington showed problem with one part so shows there are different components in STM
dual task performance
help understand brain damage
11
Q
2 disadvantages of WMM
A
nomothetic
not enough explanation of central executive
12
Q
supporting evidence HUNT
A
- investigated limited capacity
- psychomotor task and intelligence task of spatial patterns
- performance on psychomotor task deteriorated as intelligence task got harder
- competing for same limited capacity
