- Evaluation - Working Memory Model
- Evidence
- HM supports the idea of subsystems
- Paulesu found evidence in brain activity
- Phonological loop
- Baddeley and Hitch - two visual tasks = poor performance
- A visual and verbal task at the same time performance not affected
- Application
- The model can be used to help children learn to read as it suggests that difficulties may be due to deficits in the phonological loop
- The model predicts whether two or more tasks can be carried out successfully
- Strengths
- Developed our understanding of the role of STM
- Alternative theories
- Multi-store model
- Weaknesses
- Doesn't tell us much about the central executive.
- Not clear how the three components interact with each other
- Evidence
