    • Strength: Clinical evidence
      What? Research support
      Who? Shallice and Warrington - KF, poor STM ability for auditory information but normal processing of visual information; Phonological loop damaged but visuo-spatial sketchpad not
      Why? Supports separate visual and acoustic stores
    • Counterpoint: Clinical evidence
      What? Unclear if KF had other cognitive impairments
      Who? Trauma may have affected his cognitive performance
      Why? Challenges evidence - brain injuries may have affected many different systems
    • Strength: Dual-task performance
      What? Studies of dual-task performance support separate existence of visuo-spatial sketchpad
      Who? Baddeley - Visual and verbal task, performance similar VS Both tasks visual, performance declines (Both visual tasks compete for same subsystem)
      Why? Shows separate subsystem for visual and verbal processing
    • Limitation: Nature of central executive
      What? Lack of clarity over nature of CE
      Who? Baddeley - Needs to be more clearly specified than just being 'attention' (May consist of separate subcomponents)
      Why? Challenges integrity of WMM
