what does the central executive do?
(include capacity, function, coding)
is the boss of WMM (controls it), supervises the functions and controls the systems, capacity- limited, coding- all senses

what's the phonological loop?
(include capacity, function and coding)
is a temporary storage system for verbal info, A.C.S- 'inner voice' as it allows subvocal repetition of acoustic info, phonological store- 'inner ear'. coding- acoustic info, capacity- limited

whats the visuo spatial sketchpad?
(include capacity, function and coding)
it is a temporary storage system for visual info, inner scribe deals w manipulation of melts images, coding- visual and spatial info, capacity- limited (visual cache)

what does episodic buffer do?
(Include coding, functions and capacity)
the episodic buffer binds and integrates info form all components and passes info to the LTM. it coding- visual and acoustic info. capacity- limited

name the evaluations
+support from case study, Patient KF, injured in a motorcycle accident, was able to recall stored info in LTM but had issues with STM, able to remember visual images and faces but couldn't remember sounds (meaning there are 2 components in STM)

counting w previous card
+support dual task studies, Baddely and Hitch studied PP who had to multi task, in one condition, they had 2 acoustic tasks such as remembering digits and completing a verbal task, in another, they had 1 acoustic (remembering-

P.L=phonological loop
-digits) and a visuo task (copying a drawing). when both tasks required P,L, ability to preform the task was impaired, when only 1 task requires the P.L, the ability to preform the task wasn't impaired (showing the existence of components in STM)
10 of 12
continuing w previous card
-only focuses on STM and doesn't explore the link between STM and LTM, there's no explanation on how info is processed+transferred from STM to LTM so it maybe an incomplete model
- takes a nomothetic approach

continuing w previous card
-experimental reductionism, isolated variable in a lab exp, doesn't focus on complexity of everything
