- Working memory model
- 1) Central Executive - the controlling element thats linked to the other two elements.
- 2) Articulatory phonological loop - holds acoustic information and includes the verbal rehearsal loop.
- 3) Visuo spatial sketch pad - deals with visual and spatial information.
- Evidence from brain damage patients that supports the working memory model.
- Shallice & Warrington - patient KF had difficulty recalling auditory information but not visual.
- Suggests damage only affected the articulatory phonological loop supporting different components in the STM.
- Limitations with using brain damage patients as most are case studies so the arent representative or generalisable.
- Little is known about the central executive, little research has been done on this component.
- It tells us little about the LTM and the ways in which processing from the model related to the LTM.
