Outline and evaluate the working memory model (12) The working memory model (WMM) suggests that there are three main components to human memory. The central executive is the key component of working memory and is what directs attention to particular tasks‚ deciding which ‘resources’ (being the phonological loop and visual-spatial sketchpad) are allocated to which tasks. The central executive has a very limited capacity however‚ and can’t attend to too many things at once. The phonological loop

Long term memory is the final holding place for information that we come across every day. However a lot of this information is lost through decay‚ ensuring only mostly important and relevant information is kept in the LTM. Short term memories become long term through attention and rehearsal. There are different models which differ on how this information is passed along. Long term memory can be recalled whenever it is needed. Long term memories are as a result of more stable and permanent changed

This was the sensory memory that holds information from our 5 senses for a very short period of time unless given attention‚ short-term memory (STM) which has a limited capacity and short duration unless verbally rehearsed‚ and the long-term memory (LTM) which has a potentially unlimited capacity and

The Steps of Memory How to trace the steps from stimuli to long term memory is an interesting process from the beginning to the end. Stimuli are used to study of memory the constant sequence to constant vowels. First step is encoding where information is to be stored and retrieved into a memory for later use. This encoding is used to store items like images‚ sounds‚ colors or even numbers. Just as you would here a song on the radio‚ you will remember the tune‚ but not necessarily the words
