🟣 Memory: The working memory model Flashcards
Who created the working memory model
Baddeley and Hitch (1974)
What year did Baddeley and Hitch create the Working memory model
1974
What is the working memory model
A model consisting of slave systems and subsystems explaining how memory works in a much more detailed way that the multistore model of memory
As well as the detail - what makes the WMM different from the MSM model
The WMM explains the mental state that is active when we temporarily store and manipulate information e.g playing chess
What are the subsystems of the working memory model
The phonological loop
The visuo-spatial sketchpad
The episodic buffer
What is the central executive of the working memory model
It is the boss of the WMM that drives the system
What is the function of the central executive in the working memory model
It directs attention between different inputs and allocates information to the subsystems
What is the overall function of the phonological loop in the working memory model
It deals with auditory information and preserves the order in which information arrives in
What is the overall function of the visuo-spatial sketchpad in the working memory model
It’s stores visual and spatial information
What are the subdivisions of the phonological loop
The phonological store
The articulatory process
What are the subdivisions of the visuo-spatial sketchpad
The visual cache
The inner Scribe
What is the function of the episodic buffer
The episodic buffer ties together visual, spatial and verbal data by other memory stores and maintains a sense of time sequencing
What is the function of the phonological store
It stores the words we hear and acts as an inner ear
What is the function of the articulatory process
It is the inner voice of the phonological loop which allows for maintenance rehearsal
What is the function of the inner scribe
It is an active store that records arrangement of objects in 3D space
What is the function of the visual cache
It is a passive store of form and colour which stores visual data
Does the central executive store information
No
What is the capacity of the central executive
It has a limited capacity of a few items
How many items does the central executive work on at a time
It works on 1 item at a time
How is information coded in the phonological loop
Acoustically
What is the capacity of the articulatory process
Two seconds worth of what you can say
What is the capacity of the the visuo-spatial sketchpad
3-4 items
Who determined the capacity of the visuo-spatial sketchpad and in what year
Baddeley (2003)
Who divided the visuo-sketchpad
Logie (1995)
