- working memory model
- phonological loop
- stores verbal info
- baddley et al. participants were given a tracking task at the same time they had to either decribe angles along the way or perform a verbal task
- "f" study
- they found it was harder to track and decribe the angles because it was using the same slave sytem and tok up the capacity but travking and performing a verbal task was much easier because it used 2 componemts supporting the thoery of the phonological loop and the visual spatial sketchpad.
- baddley et al. participants were given a tracking task at the same time they had to either decribe angles along the way or perform a verbal task
- artculary loop is reahersal in stm. the word length effect study supports this idea
- harder to remeber longer words than shorter words because the longer words did not fit into the capacity of the articulary loop.
- maintains info in the stm if reahersed.
- stores verbal info
- central executive
- low capacity and duration.
- drive the system and decides how the attention is divided
- visual spatial sketchpad
- stores visual and spatial information

- episodic buffer
- low capacity and duration
- central storage space for acoustic and visual info but for only 1-2 seconds
- baddley(2000) added the episodic buffer because the model needed a genral store
- intergrates info from all slave systems
- strengths
- explains real life studies such as kf
- case study of kf supports the fact of diffrent stores as he could remeber visual stuff but not acoustic.
- case study cannot be genralised to everyone
- case study of kf supports the fact of diffrent stores as he could remeber visual stuff but not acoustic.
- a lot of supporting research
- much more detailed than the MSM.
- used to diagnose patients.
- case study of kf supports the fact of diffrent stores as he could remeber visual stuff but not acoustic.
- case study cannot be genralised to everyone
- explains real life studies such as kf
- weaknesses
- the central executive is not supported with much research therefore is too simplified and unclear of it's purpose.
- phonological loop
