Working memory model Flashcards
(13 cards)
Who created WM
Baddeley & Hitch (1974)
What are the three main parts
central executive, phonological loop, visuo-spacial sketchpad
What are the two parts of the phonological loop
articulory loop/process , primary acoustic store
what does the articulatory loop do
subvocalises information
what does the primary acoustic store do
hold onto the memory of sounds
what does the ce do
allocates memory to the slave systems
what does the vssp do
mantains visual non verbal information
The episodic buffer was added in 2000, what does this do?
bind memories from the two slave systems which are then stored in the episodic ltm
How can it be applied
The cocktail party effect( inability to absorb multiple streams of audio information)
How is it credible?
lots of research into dual task paradigm, face validity, KF study shows that visual and verbal stores are seperate
How is it objectable?
Episodic buffer fairly unclear, based on artificial tasks, Liberman points out blind people have spacial memory
What is a difference
WM is a development of MSM- still linear model, However WM is still progressing
How is it applicable
Allows us to improve our memory in some situationd, Cognitive stimulation for patients with dementia
