2. What is the main role of the Central Exeutive?

  • distorts memories to fit with expectations
  • to decide how to allocate its resources
  • stores visual and spatial information
  • reherses information to be transferred

3. What does the Articulatory Loop consist of?

  • changed information ready to be stored
  • the phonological store and articulory control process
  • short duration and big capacity
  • the short term memory store

4. What are the four components of the Working Memory Model?

  • language, episodic, visual and central systems
  • short term memory, long term memory, sensory memory and central executive
  • central executive, articulatory loop, visuospatial sketchpad and episodic buffer
  • visual, spatial, acoustic and realistic models

5. Name 3 Episodic Buffer points?

  • illustarates how the buffer works, codes information in images, uses articulory control process
  • acoustic encoding, spatial encoding, visual encoding
  • accsesed by central executive, takes information from different sources, can draw on information from the LTM if needed for the working memory
  • small capacity, long duration, controls slave systems
