A01

• Who was this model proposed by

  -Baddeley and Hitch

  -replaced the idea of a unitary STM

  -suggests a system involving active processing and ST storage of info
• What are the 4 components of the WMM

  -Central executive (CE)

  -Phonological loop (PL)

  -Visuo-spatial sketchpad (VSS)

  -Episodic buffer (EB)
• What is the diagram of the WMM


  -here

  
• Outline the Central Executive

  -multi modal (verbal +visual)

  -function is too direct the attention to particular tasks determining how the brains resources should be allocated

  -controls the slave systems

  -has limited capacity and cannot store information
• Outline the Phonological loop

  -Responsible for coordinating auditory info
• What two divisions in the PL divided into

  -PL store: Component stores spoken words (the inner ear)

  -Articulatory process: which repeats info silently to keep it in working memory (inner voice)

  -limited capacity
• Outline the Visuo-Spatial Sketchpad

  -handles visual and spatial info (inner eye)

  -limited capacity
• What two components can VSS be divided into

  -visual cache (stores visual data) e.g form & colour

  -inner scribe (records spatial relationships)
• Outline the episodic buffer (added later in 2000)

  -receives info from CE PL and VSS and integrates this info into episodes

  -limited capacity and multi modal

  -maintains time sequencing
