the working memory model
Baddeley and Hitch active processes
Believed memory is not just one store but a Baddeley and Hitch believed that the STM store
number of different stores: in the Multi-store Model was too simplistic:
Focused on STM ONLY and believed it was they thought that short term memory was not
not a unitary store (like MSM)!! a passive store, but several active processes
LTM as a more passive store that holds that manipulate information.
previously learned material for use by the
STM when needed.
Central
Executive
Phonological Episodic Visuospatial
Loop Buffer Sketchpad
Long Term Storage Memory
Central Executive:
Directs attention to particular tasks. It controls the other systems by determining how
resources will be allocated. (Think a control tower at an airport.)
The central executive is considered the most important part of working memory, it can
briefly store information, but has a limited capacity.
The central executive is modality free, which means that it can store information in any
sense form.
