working memory model Flashcards
1
Q
who created the working memory model?
A
baddeley & hitch (1974)
2
Q
what is included in the model?
A
- central executive
- visuospatial sketchpad
- episodic buffer
- phonological loop
-phonological store
-articulatory process
3
Q
what is the central executive?
A
processes all sensory info & collects responses
4
Q
what is the visuospatial sketchpad?
A
temporary storage for visual and spatial info
5
Q
what is the episodic buffer?
A
forms all memories into episodes
6
Q
what is the phonological loop?
A
storage for auditory info
-inner ear
-inner voice
7
Q
strength of the model
A
point - case studies support
evidence - KF study (visual not auditory)
explain - suggests existence of stores within STM
8
Q
weakness of the study
A
point - little is known about the central executive
evidence - baddeley (2003) - CE is most important but least understood
explain - challenges integrity of model
