EvaluationThe working memory model explains why we find it easier to complete two different tasks (such as visual and verbal) rather than two similar tasks, as they are performed by different components of the STM. This is also supported by the word length effect because people cope better at remembering shorter words rather than longer words. This shows that the phonological loop has a limited capacity. The central executive has some research to show its importance , such as Robbins et al study, but it is not clearly explained and has the least research to support it. Although the WMM is more detailed than the MSM, it still oes not give enough detail about how the LTM works or how it combines with the STM. |
