Technology Changing Attention Spans Technology is a notion that will never end. New devices will be released and then advanced endlessly. It changes society by altering the environment in which individuals adapt. Technology now is a concept that individuals cannot survive without; an average person needs technology‚ to eat‚ to entertain‚ to cook‚ and to do many other daily functions. Let’s face it‚ individuals need technology to survive. But this is to an extent‚ for example a computer can be one

Previous research has argued that children can have a weak memory‚ stating that this makes them unsuitable eyewitnesses‚ however‚ there is also evidence which argues to the contrary. Children have a relatively simple model of memory‚ information is processed in working memory and this processing determines its transfer to long term memory. When children at 5 years of age took part in the digit span task‚ they were able to remember 4 or 5 digits; this increased to 6 digits at 9 years of age (Baddeley

Primacy mainly affects long-term memory and the age differences in performance are most effectively clarified by the application of memory strategies in older children. On the other hand‚ recency mainly affects short-term memory and can be observed in all age groups with little developmental differences. From children ages four and older‚ the task of repeating words right after

The working memory model consists of four main parts‚ phonological loop‚ visual spatial sketch pad‚ episodic buffer and the central executive. The central executive controls the three subsystems in addition to this the WMM represents Short Term memory (STM) and shows us multiple ways of information being transferred into the Long Term Memory (LTM). The Phonological Loop of the WMM is called the inner voice‚ this holds verbal information in a speech based form‚ and this however has a limited capacity

Outline and evaluate the ‘WMM’ (12marks) The working memory model (WMM) has four components. The central executive controls and monitors the operation of the other 3 components. It also allocates attention. The phonological loop is sub-divided into 2 smaller components‚ the articulatory control system‚ where information is rehearsed sub vocally or in the inner voice and the phonological store where speech is held for a very brief duration in the inner ear. The third component is the visuo spatial

CEP – Evaluation of the Working Memory Model Atkinson’s and Shiffrin’s (1968) multi-store model was extremely successful in terms of the amount of research it generated. However‚ as a result of this research‚ it became apparent that there were a number of problems with their ideas concerning the characteristics of short-term memory. Building on this research‚ Baddeley and Hitch (1974) developed an alternative model of short-term memory which they called working memory. Baddeley and Hitch (1974) argued
