Working Memory Model

This component of the WMM that co-ordinates the activities of the 3 subsystems in memory. It also allocates processing resources to those activities.

• Central Executive

• Phonological loop

• Visuospatial Sketchpad

• Episodic Buffer

The component of the WMM that processes information in terms of sound. This includes both written and spoken material

• Central Executive

• Phonological loop

• Visuospatial Sketchpad

• Episodic Buffer

The component of the WMM that processes information in terms of sound. This includes both written and spoken material. It is divided into the phonological store and the articulatory process

• Central Executive

• Phonological loop

• Visuospatial Sketchpad

• Episodic Buffer

The component of the WMM that brings together material from the other subsystems into a single memory rather than separate strands. It also provides a bridge between working memory and long term memory.

• Central Executive

• Phonological loop

• Visuospatial Sketchpad

• Episodic Buffer

The inner scribe and the visual cache are part of which part if the WMM

• Central Executive

• Phonological loop

• Visuospatial Sketchpad

• Episodic Buffer

what has a limited capacity, which according to Baddeley (2003) is about 3 to 4 objects.

• Central Executive

• Phonological loop

• Visuospatial Sketchpad

• Episodic Buffer

Which has been described as having an inner ear, with a duration of 1-2 seconds

• Central Executive

• Phonological loop

• Visuospatial Sketchpad

• Episodic Buffer

This deals with auditory information (i.e coding is acoustic) and preserves the order in which the information arrives.

• Central Executive

• Phonological loop

• Visuospatial Sketchpad

• Episodic Buffer

The _________, has a supervisory role. It monitors incoming data, focuses and divides our limited attention and allocates subsystems to tasks.

• Central Executive

• Phonological loop

• Visuospatial Sketchpad

• Episodic Buffer

The __________ has a very limited processing capacity and does not store information.

• Central Executive

• Phonological loop

• Visuospatial Sketchpad

• Episodic Buffer
