Hitch’s working memory model‚ and assess to what extent this model has helped us to understand phonological short term memory problems in children with reading disorders. The working memory model is the dominant and influential theory of memory designed to actively store information and refer to ideas that are thought of‚ or made available to the mind. Information can be manipulated when it is required during thinking‚ mental tasks‚ solving a problem or reasoning tasks (Cowan 2007). Working memory

The multi-store model of memory is an theoretical explanation of how memory processes work. It was the first extensively accepted model of how memory works‚ it is however not the definitive explanation of memory. The model was proposed by Atkinson and Shiffrin in 1968. It is suggested in the model that the human memory involves a sequence of three stages‚ these include: sensory memory‚ short term memory and long term memory. Information is said to pass through each stage in a fixed sequence.

to Atkinson and Shiffrin the multi-store memory has 3 distinctive stores; sensory registry‚ short term memory (STM) and long term memory (LTM). Information from the environment enters the sensory memory for 0.5 second‚ if the individual is paying attention this information will enter the STM‚ from there if the information is rehearsed it will be store into the LTM. Duration is how long the memory lasts‚ capacity is how much memory an individual can store‚ encoding is what format it is stores in for

DESCRIBE AND EVALUATE THE MULTI-STORE MODEL OF MEMORY (25 MARKS) The multi- store model of memory is an explanation to how memory processes work‚ we hear‚ see and feel many things but only a small number are remembered‚ the model was first introduced by Atkinson and Shiffrin in (1968)‚ whereby they explained tat the multi-store model of memory has 3 stages which is sensory memory‚ short-term memory and long-term memory‚ this information processing approach to Cognitive Psychology‚ describes the

The multi store model of memory was developed by Atkinson and Shiffrin (1968)‚ it is proposed that memory was not a single process but involved more than one stage and more than one kind of memory‚ the different stages of memory operate together. These stages include sensory memory‚ Short term memory and long term memory‚ Information is said to pass through each stage in a fixed sequence. There are limitations of capacity and duration at each separate stage. The first stage of the model is the sensory

Describe and Evaluate the Multi-Store Model of Memory The multi-store model of memory (MSM) is an explanation of the process of memory. Richard Atkinson and Richard Shiffrin first illustrated the multi-store model‚ in 1968‚ it explains how we hear‚ see and feel many things but only a small number are remembered and other aren’t. There is strong evidence of three different stores suggesting that the basis of the MSM is reliable. However there has been some criticism of the MSM‚ most importantly

Describe and evaluate the Working Memory Model of Memory (12 marks) The working memory model by Baddeley and Hitch in 1974 is an alternative to the multi- store model‚ which was limited in its description of the STM. It consists of three main components‚ the first one being the central executive‚ which has overall control. The central executive is directs attention to two slave systems‚ the phonological loop and the visual-spatial sketchpad. The central executive has limited capacity but

The WMM model of memory Atkinson’s and Shiffrin’s (1968) multi-store model was extremely successful in terms of the amount of research it generated. However‚ as a result of this research‚ it became apparent that there were a number of problems with their ideas concerning the characteristics of short-term memory. Building on this research‚ Baddeley and Hitch (1974) developed an alternative model of short-term memory which they called working memory. There are three main components to the original

Describe and evaluate the multi store memory model Atkinson and Shiffrin 1968 suggested that memory was comprised of three separate stores - the Sensory Memory store‚ the Short-term Memory store‚ and the Long-term Memory store. Information from all around us enters the through the sensory memory and encoded through one of the 5 senses depending on the type of information. If attention is paid to this information it will enter short term memory which has a limited capacity of about 4 chunks of

Describe and Evaluate the Working Memory Model - 12 Marks The working memory model is a model which specifically defines the short term memory. It is made up of three sections: the central executive‚ visuo-spacial sketchpad and phonological loop. The central executive is the ’boss’ of the three and this section of the system is the part that makes it possible for humans to multitask. It does this by allocating attention to different parts of the system. These are its slave systems. The capacity
