- Evaluation of the working memory model
- Strengths
- Explanatory power-explains many psychological observations
- Supporting Evidence-recent studies show links between activation of the brain and tasks to physical representation of the WMM
- Different kinds of memory-memory as one activity but now there's different kinds of memory
- Comparing to the MSM-emphasis on process rather than structure, non-unitary store with more than one component
- Limitations
- The Central executive-not sure what it is, doesn't really explain anything, several components of the CE not just one, more complex than represented
- Strengths
- You can't make before and after comparisons, so it is not clear whether changes in behavior are caused by the damage
