- The Working Memory Model (WMM)
- Central executive
- component of WMM that allocates tes the activities of the three subsystems in memory
- Very limited processing capacity
- Phonologial Loop
- processes information in terms of sound, written and spoken material
- Divided into Phonological store and articulatory process
- Phonological store, stores words you hear
- Articulatory process allows maintenence rehearsal (repeating, in loop) and capacity is two seconds
- Viso-Spacial sketchpad
- Processes visual and spatial information in mental space called "inner eye". limited capcity, 3/4 objects
- Divided into visual cache and inner scribe
- Visual cache stores visual data
- Inner scribe records arrangement of objects in visual field
- Episodic Buffer
- Brings material from other subsystems into a single memory rather than separate strands. links LTM to WMM
- Basically recording events (episodes) that are hapenning
- Limited capacity of 4 chunks
- Central executive
