Working memory mode I

• Who proposed the working memory model?

  Baddeley and Hitch
• What did Baddeley and Hitch argue about the multi-store model?

  It was too simplistic
• How many components did Baddeley and Hitch state STM had?

  Four components
• What is the role of the central executive in the working memory model?

  Supervisory role - focusing and dividing attention
• What is a characteristic of the central executive?

  Limited capacity
• What does it mean that the central executive is modality free?

  It can process information from any sensory modality
• What is the phonological loop in the working memory model?

  Auditory slave system
• What type of coding does the phonological loop use?

  Semantic coding
• What is the function of the phonological store?

  Acts as the inner ear
• What is the articulatory process in the phonological loop?

  Inner voice
• How many chunks of information can the phonological loop hold?

  Four chunks
• What is the visa spatial sketch pad responsible for?

  Visual and spatial slave system
• What does the visual cache in the visa spatial sketch pad store?

  Visual data
• What is the function of the inner scribe in the visa spatial sketch pad?

  Spatial arrangement
• How many objects can the visa spatial sketch pad hold?

  Three to four objects
• What is the episodic buffer?

  Temporary store for information
• When was the episodic buffer added to the model?

  In 2000
• What does it mean that the episodic buffer is modality free?

  It can store information from any sensory modality
• What does the episodic buffer maintain?

  Sense of time sequencing
• What is the role of the episodic buffer in relation to the central executive?

  Storage component for central executive
• How does the episodic buffer link to long-term memory?

  It connects information to LTM
