Resource summary
Memory- working memory model
Central executive
Coordinates activity of other subsystems, as well as allocating resources
Very limited capacity
Visuo-spatial sketchpad
Visual and spatial information
Limited capacity
3-4 objects
The visual cache
Stores visual data
The inner scribe
Records arrangement of objects
Phonological loop
Auditory information
Acoustic coding
Phonological store
Stores the words you hear
Articulatory process
Maintenance rehearsal of words in a 'loop' to keep them in the STM as long as necessary
2 second capacity
Episodic buffer
Integrates all information and ensures time sequencing
Limited capacity
4 chunks
Links WM to LTM
Evaluation
Clinical evidence
Patient had trouble with auditory information processing but fine for visual
Damage to phonological loop but not visuo-spatial sketchpad
Suggests they are separate stores
Difficult to generalise
Often deals with patients with unique cases, sometimes revolving around trauma
Dual task performance
Baddeley
More difficult to do two tasks in the same store (e.g. visuo-spatial tasks) compared to two different tasks (e.g. auditory and visual)
Suggests there must be separate subsystems to deal with auditory and visual information
Lack of clarity over central executive
Not a full explanation of STM
May have separate components
Word length effect
List of long words more difficult to remember
2 second capacity in articulatory process
Brain scan studies
High levels of activity in the left pre-frontal corex during CE activity
