the WMM

• What does the central executive do in the working memory model?

  Monitors and coordinates all other mental functions
• What aspect of memory does the working memory model (WMM) address?

  It addresses short-term memory functions
• What is the capacity of the phonological loop?

  It has a limited capacity
• What does the phonological loop allow you to do?

  Process and store auditory information
• What does the episodic buffer do?

  Receives input from many sources
• How does the episodic buffer function in working memory?

  It integrates information to construct a mental episode
• What is the visuo-spatial sketchpad (VSS) used for?

  Processing visual and spatial information
• What does the phonological loop code?

  Codes speech and sounds in working memory
• What did Baddeley add to the working memory model in 2000?

  The episodic buffer as a general store
• How does the visuo-spatial sketchpad send information to long-term memory?

  It integrates visual information from the central executive
• What did Baddeley and Hitch (1947) feel about short-term memory (STM)?

  They felt it was not just a single store
• What is the function of the central executive (CE)?

  To direct attention to different tasks
• What happens when you do two tasks at the same time?

  It can lead to interference in processing
• What is the capacity of the phonological store?

  Very limited capacity
• What is the articulatory process used for?

  Used for words that are heard or seen
• How does the working memory model explain the allocation of brain resources?

  It allocates resources to different tasks
• What is the role of rehearsal in working memory?

  It maintains information in working memory
• What is the relationship between the phonological loop and the episodic buffer?

  Both are components of working memory
• What did Baddeley (1986) suggest about the phonological loop?

  It can be further subdivided into components
• What is the function of the phonological loop?

  Holds the words you hear
• What is the significance of the central executive's limited capacity?

  It cannot attend to too many things at once
• How does the working memory model differ from traditional views of memory?

  It emphasizes multiple stores for different tasks
