The Working Memory Model
Cards in this deck (7)
- 1The Working Memory ModelExplanation of how STM is organised and how it functions.
Contains: phonological loop, episodic buffer, central executive and visuo-spatial sketchpad - 2Central executivemonitors incoming data, makes decisions and allocates slave system.
Has very limited processing capacity - 3Phonological loopDeals with auditory information. Preserves order in which information arrives.
Phonological store: stores words heard
Articulatory process: allows maintenance rehearsal. Capacity is believed to be 2 secs. - 4Visuo-spatial sketchpadStores visual and/or spatio information when required. Limited capacity, about 3 or 4 objects (Baddeley)
Visuo cache: stores visual data
Inner scribe: record arrangement of objects in visual field. - 5Episodic BufferTemporary store for information. Recording events (episodes) that are happening. Links working memory to LTM. Limited capacity of about 4 chunks.
- 6WMM (Clinical Proof)Shallice&Warrington. KF suggets phonological loop had been damaged leaving other areas of memory intact.
Evidence from brain damaged patients may not be reliable - concerns unique cases with patients who had traumatic experiences. - 7—
