evaluation

• does KF support or undermine the WMM?


  support existence of auditory and visual information are stored differently
• what was Baddeleys experiment for the WMM?


  participants given visual tracking task with 1 of 2 other tasks

  describe all the angles of letter F OR perform a verbal task

  task 1 was difficult as it tries to use the visual sketchpad for 2 jobs

  task 2 was easier as it uses the visual sketchpad and phonological loop

  shows that they are separate stores and in different locations of the brain
• how do brain scans support WMM?


  participants complete tasks with spatial and verbal information. one condition information was separate and one condition was integrated.

  more activation in prefrontal cortex when info was integrated.

  posterior brain regions when info was separate.

  suggests that EB exists and is in prefrontal cortex specializing in the temporary storage of visual verbal and auditory info
• what are limitations of WMM?


  we dont know how it works or where it is exactly located
• what is the evidence from dual task experiments?


  visual tracking task with one of 2 tasks

  describe all angles on the letter F OR perform a verbal taks

  task 1 was difficult as it tries to use the visual sketchpad for 2 jobs

  task 2 was easier as it uses the visual sketchpad and phonological loop
