Working Memory Model

• Who are the psychologists mentioned in the video?

  Badley and Hitch
• What is a model in psychology?

  A representation of mental processes
• What was a problem with the multistar model?

  It viewed short-term memory too simply
• What is another name for short-term memory?

  Working memory
• What does the working memory model state about short-term memory?

  It stores and processes information
• What is the capacity of working memory?

  Limited capacity
• What are the four components of the working memory model?

  • Phonological loop
  • Visual-spatial sketchpad
  • Central executive
  • Episodic buffer
• What is the function of the phonological loop?

  Processes sound-based information
• What are the two subcomponents of the phonological loop?

  Articulatory control process and phonological store
• What does the articulatory control process do?

  Rehearses verbal sounds
• What is the phonological store known as?

  The inner ear
• How does the phonological loop help when reading?

  It produces speech in your mind
• What is the visual-spatial sketchpad responsible for?

  Processing visual information
• What does the central executive do?

  Controls the phonological loop and sketchpad
• What term did Badley borrow for the central executive?

  Executive from the business world
• What happens when working memory is overloaded?

  The central executive prioritizes tasks
• What was added to the working memory model in 2000?

  The episodic buffer
• What is the function of the episodic buffer?

  Integrates information from all components
• How does the episodic buffer relate to long-term memory?

  Links long-term memory with working memory
• How can dual coding help students?

  Combines visual and phonological information
• How do the components of the working memory model help in counting windows at home?

  • Episodic buffer recalls home layout
  • Visual-spatial sketchpad visualizes windows
  • Phonological loop counts windows
  • Central executive manages attention
• What happens to attention during a task using working memory?

  Attention is focused on the task
• What is the inner voice in the phonological loop called?

  Articulatory control process
• What does the visual-spatial sketchpad help with in a dark room?

  Helps navigate without bumping into things
• How does combining visual and phonological information aid understanding?

  Enhances comprehension of complex ideas
• What is the focus of the phonological store?

  Speech perception
• Why is the central executive considered important?

  It manages and controls working memory components
• What does the term 'slave systems' refer to?

  Phonological loop and visual-spatial sketchpad
• How does the episodic buffer function in memory tasks?

  Temporarily holds and integrates information
• How does the central executive decide what to ignore?

  By prioritizing relevant information
• What is the role of the inner eye in the visual-spatial sketchpad?

  Visualizes objects and their locations
• What is the purpose of the working memory model?

  To explain how short-term memory functions
• How does the episodic buffer enhance working memory?

  By integrating various types of information
• What is the main limitation of working memory?

  It has a limited capacity
• How does the central executive allocate resources?

  By managing attention between tasks
• How does the working memory model differ from the multistar model?

  It includes processing in addition to storage
• What is the significance of dual coding in learning?

  It enhances memory retention through integration
• What is the inner voice's role in counting tasks?

  It helps rehearse numbers in your head
• How does the visual-spatial sketchpad assist in navigation?

  It helps visualize routes and locations
• How does the episodic buffer support memory integration?

  By linking short-term and long-term memories
