Working memory model
An
improved
version of the
short-term memory store
in the multi-store model
View source
Working memory model
Able to explain how the brain can hold and work on both
auditory
and visual information in
short-term
memory
View source
Differences between short-term memory and working memory model
Working memory model is an
active
processor, not just a
passive
store
View source
Central executive
Part of the working
memory
model that pays attention to information from the
senses
and controls the other components
View source
Phonological loop
Subsystem that processes
auditory
information like sounds and words, consisting of a
phonological
store and an articulatory process
View source
Visuospatial sketchpad
Subsystem responsible for processing visual and spatial information, consisting of a
visual cache
and an
inner scribe
View source
Episodic buffer
Part of the working memory model added to
integrate
information from different sources
View source
AQA specification only requires knowledge of coding and
capacity
for the
working memory
model, not the detailed features of each store
View source
Dual task performance
Central executive can coordinate visual and verbal tasks, but phonological loop is
overwhelmed
if both tasks are
verbal
View source
Case study of
KF
showed selective impairment to verbal short-term memory but not visual short-term memory, suggesting
separate
processes
View source
Brain scanning evidence showed more activation in
prefrontal cortex
when visual and verbal information was integrated, suggesting existence of
episodic buffer
View source
Study found people could remember more short
monosyllabic
words than longer words, supporting capacity of
phonological loop
as 2 seconds
