Outline the four components of Baddeley and 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

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

Outline and evaluate the working memory model The working memory model is the part of the short term memory which is governed by the ‘central executive which monitors and coordinates the operation of the store systems; Phonological loop and visuo – spatial sketchpad. The phonological loop allows sounds to be stored for brief periods. The visuo spatial sketchpad allows visual and spatial information to be stored for brief periods. The two slave systems within the WMM are completely separate and can

‘Outline and evaluate the working memory model’ The working memory model was proposed by Baddeley and Hitch in 1974. This was an alternative to the multi-store model because they believed it was too simplistic and did not explain how memories are transferred into the long term memory without rehearsal which can be supported by flashbulb memories e.g. the death of princess Diana. The working memory model focuses on the short term memory and suggests that unlike the multi-store model‚ there is more

Baddeley and Hitch (1974) criticised the multi-store model for being a very simplistic view of memory. They saw short term memory as a store that had many individual sections inside it. This was supported by patient KF who had epilepsy‚ the doctor wanted to try and remedy this by removing his hippocampus. This surgery was done‚ however instead of fixing his epilepsy‚ it damaged his short term memory‚ yet he still had his long term memory intact. In the multi-store model it states that in order to

Memory- Task 1 Evaluate the usefulness of the three models of memory (multi-store model‚ working memory model and the levels of processing model) and discuss practical implications of memory research. Atkinson and Shiffrin ’s Multi- store Model of Memory (1968) hypothesises that there are three stores for memory; Sensory memory‚ short term memory (STM) and long term memory (LTM). The theory states that a memory passes through each of the stores and that the importance of the memory determines which

This articles primary focus is going to be looking at the concept of working memory and how it actually works and is able to function alongside all other kinds of memory. The beginning of this article starts off by trying to determine the relationship between working memory and cognitive abilities. According to Alan Baddeley these two functions are attached to specific domains within the mind. Baddeley developed a model of working

Microsoft doc The working memory model has three separate components. The central executive system allocates attention to different inputs and monitoring the operation of the other two components. The phonological loop has two sub-components‚ the articulatory control system‚ where information is rehearsed subvocally‚ and the phonological store‚ where speech input is held for a very brief duration. The third component‚ the visuo-spatial sketchpad deals with visual and spatial information coming
