the working memory model

who came up with the wmm
baddeley and hitch
what is the working memory model composed of
the central executive, phonological loop, visuo-spatial sketchpad and episodic buffer
what is the central executive 
directs attention to particular tasks and determines how the brains resources are allocated to tasks
what is the visuo-spatial sketchpad
used when planning a spatial task. visual/spatial information is temporarily stored here. visual information is what things look like and spatial information is the physical relationship between things
what did logie suggest the visuo-spatial sketchpad can be divided into? 
a visual cache (stores visual information) and an inner scribe (stores arrangement of objects in the visual field)
what is the phonological loop
deals with auditory information and preserves the order of information
what did baddeley suggest the phonological loop could be divided into
the phonological store (inner ear) and an articulatory process (inner voice)
what is the episodic buffer
integrates information from all three other stores, maintains a sense of time sequencing and sends information to long-term memory
what is the support for the wmm
baddeley et al
what is the support for the wmm
baddeley and hitch
what is the counter for the wmm
the role of the central executive is unclear
what is the alternative for the wmm
msm
what is the issues and debates for the wmm
uses both idiographic and nomothetic methods to provide support for the mode
