paper has argued that to claim whether the CAPM is dead or alive‚ some improvements on the model must be considered. Rather than take the view that one theory is right and the other is wrong‚ it is probably more accurate to say that each applies in somewhat different circumstances (assumptions). Finally it’s argued that even the examination of the CAPM’s variants is unable to solve the debate into the model. Rather than asserting the death or the survival of the CAPM‚ we conclude that there is no

Baddeley and Hitch (1974) developed an alternative model of short-term memory which they called the working memory model. The working memory model consists of four components. The central executive which controls and co-ordinates the operation of two subsystems‚ the phonological loop and the visuo-spatial sketchpad.

Outline and Evaluate 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.
