Resource summary
The working memory model
AO1
outline
functional
focuses on STM
separate components have different specialisations
4 components
1) CENTRAL EXECUTIVE
3) VISUO-SPATIAL SCETCHPAD
stores visual/spatial info
4) EPISODIC BUFFER
long-term memory
added in 2000 limited capacity holds combined information
2) PHONOLOGICAL LOOP
phonological store (inner ear)
holds verbal information limited capacity (two sec)
articulatory process (inner voice)
verbal rehearsal
deals with auditory information
- modality-free - controls attention - limited capacity
supporting evidence
Baddeley (1975) short words are easier to recall
there is no difference when you repeat something at the same time
Hitch and Baddeley (1976) doing two tasks which involve the same component at the same time is difficult
case studies (brain damaged people)
KF
forgetting auditory info faster than visual one
SC
couldn't learn word pairs, presented out loud
LH
spatial tasks better than visual
AO2
strengths
explanatory power
explains many observations
supporting evidence
a lot of supporting information
recognises there are different kinds of STM
limitations
description of Central Executive is too vague
Damasio (1985) centre executive is not unitary
research is mostly lab based
low ecological validity
Baddeley and Hitch (1974)
