Outline and evaluate the working memory model (12 marks) Baddeley and Hitch proposed that memory has 4 components. The central executive‚ phonological loop‚ visuospatial sketchpad and the episodic buffer. The central executive decides how to share out and direct attention to incoming information. The phonological loop can be thought of as a maintenance rehearsal mechanism for retaining verbal information. It is sub-divided into two other components‚ the phonological store (inner ear)‚ which holds

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

The Working Memory Model (WMM) is a theory by Baddeley and Hitch in 1974. The theory replaces the idea that there is a single Short Term Memory (STM) from Atkinson and Shiffrin (1968)‚ it suggests that the STM is a flexible multi-component system. The WMM suggests that the STM is controlled by the Central Executive (CE) which controls attention‚ planning and synthesising information. The Central Executive is a flexible system which means it can process audio‚ visual and sound information‚ it also

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

the Working Memory Model The working memory model is a theory for how short-term memory works‚ and an expansion of the views expressed in the MSM theory. Baddeley and Hitch in 1974 felt that STM was not just one store but a collection of different stores. These concepts lead them to form a model which consists of three slave systems; the central executive‚ the phonological loop and the visuo-spatial sketchpad. They used the phrase ‘working memory’ to refer to the division of our memory that we utilize

that keeps repeating itself. However‚ in this movie‚ the recycling takes place entirely inside the mind of Lucy Whitmore played by Drew Barrymore. Barrymore plays a young woman who was in an accident that caused short-term memory loss. Every night while she sleeps‚ the slate of her memory is wiped clean‚ and when she wakes up in the morning‚ she remembers everything that happened up to the moment of the accident‚ but nothing that happened afterward. In this movie‚ movie goers get to see a warmer side

Outline and evaluate the working memory model (12) The working memory model (WMM) suggests that there are three main components to human memory. The central executive is the key component of working memory and is what directs attention to particular tasks‚ deciding which ‘resources’ (being the phonological loop and visual-spatial sketchpad) are allocated to which tasks. The central executive has a very limited capacity however‚ and can’t attend to too many things at once. The phonological loop
