Study Notes
Working Memory Model
- The Working Memory Model (WMM) was originally proposed by Baddeley and Hitch in 1974 as an extension of the multi-store model of memory.
- The model consists of the central executive, which controls two slave systems: the phonological loop and the visuo-spatial sketchpad.
- A later addition to the model was the episodic buffer, which connects working memory to perception and long-term memory.
Key Components of the Working Memory Model
- The central executive is a controlling function of the short-term store.
- The phonological loop is a slave system that deals with verbal information.
- The visuo-spatial sketchpad is a slave system that deals with visual and spatial information.
- The episodic buffer is a store within the short-term store that holds chunks of information until it is needed.
Duration and Capacity of the Stores
- The three stores in the multi-store model of memory (sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory) differ in terms of their duration and capacity.
- The episodic buffer serves to connect the components of working memory with sensory perception and long-term memory.
Applications of the Working Memory Model
- Understanding working memory can be applied to everyday life.
- Emotions can influence the control processes in the working memory model.
Guiding Questions
- How do control processes influence the transfer of memory between the stores in the multi-store model of memory?
- How is the central executive related to the slave systems in the working memory model?
