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

However‚ the brain is far more complex than any book can ever be. The brain is not only where all our memories are stored‚ the iconic‚ the semantic and procedural; it also has the ability to form new memories. With every new bit of information we learn

Position Paper #2 How would I prove that my memory or reasoning processes are reliable? There really is no good way to answer this question. My first thought was‚ well that should be easy‚ because I can prove my memory is reliable by the fact that I remember where class is every day that I show up. If I can remember where the classroom is‚ that must show my memory is reliable. But then I realized that I’m relying on a memory to come up with that example. This makes the question seem like a paradox

they can help us improve our memory. First‚ to consider the role of mental images. Forming mental images simply means thinking in pictures. Spoors et al. (2011) suggest that it works best if the images we form are large‚ colourful and bizarre‚ as we tend to remember distinctive items better than everyday items. The mental image will give us another cue when we come to recall the information. The effort we make to form the image will also help to fix it in our memory. Spoors et al. (2011) give an

Long-Term Memory Short-term memory differs from long-term memory in two fundamental ways‚ with only short-term memory demonstrating temporal decay and capacity limits. Long-term memory however‚ can store vast amounts of information and is permanent. Short-term memory gives the ability for the human brain to keep information in the mind for a very short period of time‚ such as remembering a phone number long enough until you are able to dial it on our phones. The extent of short-term memory lasts within

Abstract Fergus I. M. Craik and Michael J. Watkins conducted two experiments which oppose many widely accepted models of memory‚ stating that an items length of stay in short term storage (STS) has an effect on the item being transferred into long term storage (LTS). Previous researchers postulate the more an item is rehearsed in STM there is a better chance of the item being transferred into LTM‚ for recall later‚ this can explain the negative recency effect in free recall; items presented at

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

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
