Question | Answer |
Phonological Loop | An area of working memory that stores a limited number of sounds (speech-based and acoustic) received from the echoic memory and/or LTM for up to 2 seconds unless the information is rehearsed |
Phonological Store | A subsystem of working memory's phonological loop that holds representations of sound for up to 2 seconds; known as the 'inner ear' |
Articulatory Control System | A subsystem of working memory's phonological loop that holds the sounds that we want to keep or are preparing to speak, in their order, for up to 2 seconds, by subvocalising them; known as the 'inner voice' |
Visuospatial Sketchpad | The area of working memory that briefly stores the visual and spacial information that is received from sensory memory or LTM |
Episodic Buffer | An area of working memory that briefly stores a limited amount of sound-based information from the phonological loop and visual and spacial information from the visuospatial sketchpad with information retrieved from the LTM, and integrates it into a single multidimensional representation or 'episode' |
Central Executive | An area of working memory that monitors, coordinates and integrates information received from the phonological loop, visuospatial sketchpad, episodic buffer and LTM |
Working Memory | According to Baddeley and Hitch, an active system of STM that stores and manipulates a limited amount of information needed to perform cognitive tasks |
