Flashcards
the working memory model
Cards in this deck (8)
- 1WMM- rep STM
- how STM is organised & functions
- concerned w/ part of brain that temp stores & manips data - 2central exec- attentional process that monitors incoming data
- makes decisions & allocates systems to task
- limited processing cap - 3phonological loop- auditory info // codes acoustically
- phonological store: words heard
- articulatory store: allows maintenance rehearsal w/ 2 secs cap - 4visio-spacial sketchpad- stores visual/spacial info
- visual cache: visual data
- inner scribe: records arrangement of objects in visual field - 5episodic buffer- temp store
- integrates visual, spacial & verbal info
- maintain sense of time sequence
- limited cap (4 chunks)
- links to LTM & wider cog processes - 6clinical evidence Shallice & Warrington (1970)- patient KF
- poor STM ability for verbal info
- could process visual info normally
- suggests only phonological loop damaged
- cannot be generalised - 7dual task performance Baddely (1975)- ppts had more difficulty doing 2 visual tasks than visual & verbal
- due to both being in same store - 8lack of clarity over central exec Baddely- most important but least understood
- some believe it may consist of different components
