| Question | Answer |
| What does the working memory model explain? | It explains how the short-term memory is organised and functions. |
| What are the main sections of the STM? | Central executive, phonological loop, vio-spatial sketchpad, episodic buffer |
| What is the Central executive's role? | It monitors incoming data, makes decisions and allocated slave systems to tasks. |
| What is the capacity of the Central executive? | The capacity is very limited |
| What does the phonological loop do? | it deals with auditory information, and preserves the order in which the information arrives |
| What two stores is the phonological loop divided into? | Phonological store, articulatory process |
| What does the phonological store do? | It stores the words you hear |
| What does the articulatory process do? | Allows maintenance rehearsal |
| what is the capacity of the articulatory process? | Two seconds worth of what you can say |
| What does the Visio-spatial sketchpad do? | Stores visial/spation information when required |
| What is the VSS subdivided into? | Visual Cache Inner Scribe |
| What does the Visual Cache do? | Stores the visual data |
| What does the Inner Scribe do? | records the arrangements of objects in the visual field |
| Who added in the episodic buffer? | Baddeley |
| What does the Episodic buffer do? | temporary store for information and maintaining a sense of time sequencing. |
| What clinical evidence is there for the WWM? | Shallice and Warrington study in KF. He couldn't recall verbal information but he could recall visual information normally |
| What is a limitation of the WMM? | There is lack of clarity over the central executive. It needs to be more than just 'attention'- therefore the WMM has not been fully explained |
| What is a strength of the WMM? | Baddeley found that duel-task performance supports the separate existence of different stores. Participants had trouble doing two visual task at the same time |
