The WorkingMemoryModel has different stores of limited capacity
The WorkingMemoryModel was created by Baddeley & Hitch (1974)
What is a supportive case study for the Working Memory Model?
Patient KF - damaged his leftparietaloccipitalregion from motorbike crash. He had poorSTMauditory info but couldprocessvisual info - he couldrecallletters / digitsbetter when he read them, but not when read to him
Patient KF'sphonological loop was damaged, but his visuospatial sketchpad was intact
What are some limitations of the working memory model?
The Central Executive is too vague and untestable, and patient EVR had a cerebraltumour removed, and performed well on reasoning but poorly on decision-making
A limitation of the WorkingMemorymodel is that the Visuospatial sketchpad implies all spatial info was once visual, however blind people have excellentspatialawareness
