- Working Memory Model
- COMPONENT OF WORKING MEMORY
- Central executive
- monitors and co-ordinates all other mental functions in working memory.
- Phonological Loop
- PHONOLOGICAL STORE: words that you hear
- ARTICULATORY PROCESS : words that you hear or see
- Encodes speech sounds in working memory, typically involving maintenance rehearsal.
- Visuo-spatial skecthpad
- Encodes visual information in terms of separate objects as well as the arrangement of these objects is in one visual field.
- Episodic Buffer
- Receives input from all components, temporarily stores the information and then integrates in order to create a mental episode of what is being experienced.
- Central executive
- EVIDENCE SUPPORTING WORKING MODEL
- Episodic Effect
- BADDELEY found that when participants are shown words then asked to recall them immediately their performance is better which shows there is a immediate memory store for items that are neither visual or phonological
- Phonological loop & articulatory process
- BADDELEY tested if the phonological loop explains how the word-length effect occurs. It was suggested holds the amount of information that you can say in 2 secs.
- Visuo-spatial skecthpad
- BADDELEY demonstratedthe existence of the visuo-spatial skecthpad. Task 1 involved description and Task 2 was verbal. This is evidence for doing 2 tasks using same /different components.
- Episodic Effect
- COMPONENT OF WORKING MEMORY
- Central executive
- monitors and co-ordinates all other mental functions in working memory.
