2. One evaluation point of the WMM
- It is a very influential model and provides a more satisfactory account of the complexity of STM compared with MSM as it is not just a passive storage system
- proves that psychology is too hard for any brain
- The majority of the research lacks ecological validity
- Accounts to much for musical memory
3. Two difference between short-term and long-term memory in the Multi-store model?
- Capacity varies dependant on the person
- Capacity is unlimited in the LTM and information can last a lifetime but the STM has a duration of only 30 seconds and limited capacity of 7 +/- 2
- information in the STM lasts longer than information in the LTM
- Both the LTM and STM encode and have the same capacity
4. Features of the Working Memory Model
- Central executive, Phonological loop (Including the phonological store and articulatory control system), visuo-spacial sketchpad and
- Central executive, Phonological store, Visuo-spacial sketchpad, Short-term memory,
- Central executive, Phonological store (Including the phonological loop and articulatory control system), visuo-spacial sketchpad and Episodic buffer
- Central executive, Articulatory control process and visuo-spacial sketchpad
5. Limitation of the Working Memory model
- Does not account for musical memory because participants could listen to instrumental music without it impairing performance on other acoustic tasks
- Doesn't give a better account of the short-term memory
- The visuo-spacial sketchpad is to briefly explained
- Not much research has been carried out on the effectiveness of the WMM
