WORKING MEMORY MODEL

• WHAT TYPE OF EXPERIMENT WAS CARRIED OUT FOR THE WMM?

  laboratory
• WHAT WAS THE IV IN THE EXPERIMENT?

  two visual tasks or one visual and one verbal task
• WHAT WAS THE DV IN THE EXPERIMENT?

  amount of items correctly recalled
• WHAT TYPE OF DESIGN WAS USED?

  independent groups
• WHAT ARE THE KEY POINTS OF THE WMM?

  • central executive
  • phonological loop
  • episodic buffer
  • visuospatial sketchpad
• WHO SUGGESTED THE STM WAS AN ACTIVE PROCESS CONSIDERING OF MULTIPLE COMPONENTS?

  Baddeley and Hitch
• WHAT DID BADDELEY AND HITCH SUGGEST?

  STM was an active process considering multiple components
• WHAT WAS THE FINAL COMPONENT ADDED TO THE WMM?


  episodic buffer (2000)
• WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT COMPONENT?

  central executive
• WHAT TYPE OF STORE IS THE CENTRAL EXECUTIVE?

  limited, unitary store
• WHAT DOES THE CENTRAL EXECUTIVE DO?

  • drives whole system
  • decides which information to pay attention to
  • allocates information to correct subsystems
• WHAT INCREASES DEMAND ON CENTRAL EXECUTIVE?

  dual tasks
• HOW IS THE DEMAND ON THE CENTRAL EXECUTIVE REDUCED?

  practice as it leads to tasks becoming automated
• WHAT DOES THE PHONOLOGICAL LOOP DEAL WITH?

  spoken and written material
• WHEN IS THE PHONOLOGICAL LOOP ACTIVE?

  someone performs a verbal task
• WHAT IS ACTIVE WHEN SOMEONE PERFORMS A VERBAL TASK?

  phonological loop
• WHAT DOES THE PHONOLOGICAL LOOP CONSIST OF?

  phonological store and articulatory control process
• WHAT IS ANOTHER NAME FOR THE PHONOLOGICAL STORE?

  inner ear
• WHAT IS ANOTHER NAME FOR THE ARTICULATORY CONTROL PROCESS?

  inner voice
• WHAT IS THE PHONOLOGICAL STORE LINKED TO?

  speech perception/ Wernicke's area
• WHAT IS THE CAPACITY OF THE PHONOLOGICAL STORE?

  as many words that can be spoken in 2 seconds
• WHAT IS THE ARTICULATORY CONTROL PROCESS LINKED TO?

  speech production (Broca's area)
• WHAT DOES THE ARTICULATORY CONTROL PROCESS DO?


  rehearses verbal information from phonological store
• WHAT IS THE CAPACITY OF EPISODIC BUFFER?

  limited (about 4 chunks)
• WHAT DOES THE EPISODIC BUFFER ALLOW FOR?

  temporary storage of information in multimodal code
• HOW DOES THE EPISODIC BUFFER INTEGRATE INFORMATION?

  in single episodic representation
• WHAT DOES THE EPISODIC BUFFER MAINTAIN?

  time sequencing
• WHAT DOES THE VISUOSPATIAL SKETCHPAD DEAL WITH?

  visual or spatial information
• WHEN IS THE VISUOSPATIAL SKETCHPAD ACTIVE?

  during a visual task
• WHAT IS ACTIVE DURING A VISUAL TASK?

  visuospatial sketchpad
• WHAT IS ANOTHER NAME FOR THE VISUOSPATIAL SKETCHPAD?

  inner eye
• WHAT IS THE CAPACITY OF THE VISUOSPATIAL SKETCHPAD?

  3 - 4 objects
• WHAT DOES THE VISUOSPATIAL SKETCHPAD CONSIST OF?

  visual cache and inner scribe
• WHAT DOES THE VISUAL CACHE STORE?

  visual information (e.g. shape and colour)
• WHAT DOES THE INNER SCRIBE DO?

  record spatial and movement information
• HOW DOES THE CENTRAL EXECUTIVE CODE?

  multimodal
• WHAT IS THE CAPACITY OF THE CENTRAL EXECUTIVE?

  limited
• HOW DOES THE PHONOLOGICAL LOOP CODE?

  verbal
• WHAT IS THE CAPACITY OF THE PHONOLOGICAL LOOP?

  amount of words that can be spoken in 2 seconds
• HOW IS THE VISUOSPATIAL SKETCHPAD CODED?

  visual/ spatial
