who came up with the wmm
Baddeley and Hitch
1 of 37
what is the wmm a model of
the short term memory
2 of 37
what is the main part of the wmm
central executive
3 of 37
what is another defenition for the central exectutive (CE)
attention span
4 of 37
What is the role of the ce
takes on all info and decides whats important
5 of 37
where does auditory information go
the articulatory phonological loop (APL)
6 of 37
what type of system is the APL
slave system
7 of 37
what is connected to the APL
The articulatory process
8 of 37
what si the articulatory process
inner voice
9 of 37
what else is connected to the APL
The phonological loop
10 of 37
what is the role of the phonological loop
comprehension of information + keep info in right order
11 of 37
where does visual information go from the central executive
visuo-spatial sketchpad VSS
12 of 37
what type of system is the VSS
slave system
13 of 37
what is connected to the VSS
The inner scribe and the visual cache
14 of 37
what is the role of the inner scribe
stores info about the physucal relationship of items (perception of distances)
15 of 37
what is the role of the visula cache
stores information about visual data (form and colour)
16 of 37
whats another name for the visual cache
the mind's eye
17 of 37
what properties do slave systems have
can't work by themselves, limited capacity
18 of 37
how many tasks can slave systems do at once
one at a time
19 of 37
what are the 3 slave systems
articulatory phonological loop, visuo-spatial sketchpad, episodic buffer
20 of 37
what is in the middle of the WMM
episodic buffer
21 of 37
what is the role of the EB
stores info retrieved from LTM that will help process new information
22 of 37
when was the eb added to the wmm
2000
23 of 37
what connects to the ltm
VSS, APL, EB
24 of 37
what is different about the LTM
baddeley and hitch said nothing about it
25 of 37
what does the ltm do
help us to recognise what something actually is
26 of 37
where does the CE recieve information
senses
27 of 37
what does the wmm suggest about the stm
that all information is processed in the stm
28 of 37
what kind of capacity does the ce have
very limited
29 of 37
what does the APL do
handles all auditory information
30 of 37
what is the capacity of the articulatory process
2 seconds
31 of 37
how does the articulatory process work
repeats sounds or words to keep them in the memory
32 of 37
where are the words you hear stored
phonological store
33 of 37
what kind of capacity does the visual spatial sketchpad have
limited around 3/4 objects
34 of 37
what kind of info is stores in the VSS
visual and spatial information
35 of 37
what kind of capacity does the EB have
limited
36 of 37
what does the EB store
visual, auditory and spatial info
