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

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

Irrelevant Speech Effect The irrelevant speech effect is the impairment if performance in memory tasks as a result of irrelevant background speech (Colle & Welsh‚ 1976; Jones & Macken‚ 1993; LeCompte‚ Neely & Wilson‚ 1997).

In humans‚ short term memory is stored in the brain in such a way that it helps in learning and organising memory by lexical‚ input and output of phonemic information. Information that is stored in the short-term memory is received by nodes and is relayed when selected (Brugess‚ 1999). Farrell (2008) found evidence for a connection between short-term memory and the time and order of information. His results showed that participants could

Maintenance Rehearsal •Relies on the conscious recitation of information in a rote fashion‚ so that it can be kept in short-term memory for longer than the usual maximum duration of approx twenty secs. •EG: Repeating info over and over in one’s head. Maintenance rehearsal is easily affected by distraction from our STM. •Another drawback is that when info is continually renewed in STM through rehearsal process‚ the amount of new info that can enter is restricted because of the limited
