What are the four key components of the working memory model?
Central Executive, Visuo-Spatial Sketchpad, Phonological Loop and Primary Acoustic Store
1 of 5
Why is this not a comprehensive model of memory?
WMM only concerns the existence of STM and not LTM
2 of 5
What did Baddeley and Lewis find out about participants and the identification of homophones?
They found that participants could identify which nonsense words were homophones even when using their Phonological Loop for a different task, suggesting that the Primary Acoustic Store is separate from the Phonological Loop
3 of 5
What is the episodic buffer and why was it added?
A slave system integrating information from the Central Executive, Phonological Loop and the Visuo-Spatial Sketchpad. It was added as a general store so that the model can operate properly

What have PET scans shown about different memory stores?
They indicate that different brain areas are activiated during undertaking of verbal and visual tasks, supporting the idea of a working memory involving separate components
