Memory models

1. Baddley and Hitch

   • Working memory model
   • Focuses on short term memory
   • The model:
     • Central executive
       • Phonological loop
         • Long term episodic memory
       • Visuospatial sketchpad
         • Visual semantics
           • Language
           • Long Term Episodic Memory
       • Episodic buffer
         • Language
   • case study to support the model:
     • Clive Wearing

2. Atkinson and Shifrin

   • Multitask model of memory
   • Sensory input
     • Short Term Memory
       • Long Term Memory
       • (lasts for 6-12 seconds)
         • Chunking is a method to help you remember more for longer
       • (around 7 items can be held at a time)
     • (must have attention to be able to do this)
   • most simplistic model
   • sees memory as sequential and gathered in separate stores

3. Tulving

   • Long term memory model
