What is the main focus of the exam practice task?
Discuss
Short Term Memory
storage
View source
What is the purpose of the lesson objectives?
To explain the
Working Memory Model
structure
View source
What are the key components of the Working Memory Model (WMM)?
Central Executive
Phonological Loop
Visuospatial Sketchpad
Episodic Buffer
View source
How does the WMM differ from the Multi-Store Model (MSM)?
WMM
is
more
complex
than MSM's
simplicity
View source
Who proposed the Working Memory Model?
Baddeley
and
Hitch
View source
What is the role of the Central Executive in the WMM?
Processes and filters information from
senses
View source
What metaphor does Baddeley use for the Central Executive?
A company boss (
CEO
)
View source
What is the capacity of the Central Executive?
Limited
but
flexible
View source
What does the Phonological Loop process?
Verbal
and auditory information
View source
What are the two sub-components of the Phonological Loop?
Phonological store
and
articulatory process
View source
What does the Phonological Store do?
Holds heard words for
1-2
seconds
View source
What is the function of the Articulatory Process?
Silently
repeats words like an inner voice
View source
What is the capacity of the Phonological Loop?
About
two seconds
of speech
View source
What does the Visuospatial Sketchpad process?
Visual and spatial
information
View source
What are the two components of the Visuospatial Sketchpad?
Visual cache
and
inner scribe
View source
What does the Visual Cache store?
Visual
data
like
shapes
and
colors
View source
What does the Inner Scribe do?
Records
arrangements
of objects in space
View source
What is the capacity of the Visuospatial Sketchpad?
About
3-4
items
View source
What is the function of the Episodic Buffer?
Integrates information into
coherent
experiences
View source
Why was the Episodic Buffer added to the WMM?
To explain integration of LTM with
working memory
View source
What does dual-task performance refer to in the WMM?
Performing two tasks using different
stores
View source
How does dual-task performance affect task performance?
Performance is poorer when using the same
store
View source
What did the KF case study demonstrate?
Separate
visual
and
acoustic
memory stores
View source
What was the result of KF's brain injury?
Poor
auditory
memory but intact
visual
memory
View source
What did Robbins et al (1996) study demonstrate?
VSS
overload
affects
task performance
View source
What is a limitation of the WMM based on study designs?
High reliance on
controlled lab studies
View source
What does lack ecological validity mean for the WMM?
Findings may not reflect
real-life
usage
View source
Why was the WMM developed as an alternative to the MSM?
To address
limitations
of the MSM's
simplicity
View source
What are the two sub-components of the Phonological Loop?
Phonological store
and
articulatory process
View source
Which component of the WMM is used for mentally rotating an object?
Visuospatial Sketchpad
View source
What is the role of PET scan evidence in supporting the WMM?
Shows
different
brain
areas
for
tasks
View source
What is a limitation regarding the Central Executive?
Its nature is unclear and simplistic
View source
What does Hunt (2014) suggest about the Central Executive?
It
regulates
complex
processes
like
problem-solving
View source
What are the strengths and limitations of the WMM?
Strengths:
Explains complex memory processes
Supported by
case studies
and
research
Limitations:
Lack of clarity on
Central Executive
Based on controlled
lab studies
Limited
ecological validity
View source
What is the mark scheme for the exam practice?
Outline strengths or limitations of
WMM
View source

To
review
important
concepts
and
terms
