Memory models

Modal model (first major process model)

shows how information is transferred between the major memory types

Working memory model (Baddeley)

Executive control system
Visuospatial sketchpad

Articulatory loop

Episodic buffer

Executive control system

initiate and control ongoing processes

visuospatial skeychpad

representing visual information

Articulatory loop

rehearsel of information (speech/sound)

Episodic buffer

ties together information from visuospatial sketchpad and the articulatory loop to create episodes stored in long term memory

Kosslyn and Schwartz Theory- Image processes

Image generation
Image inspection
Image transformation

visual image

mental representation of object/scene that preserves metric spatial information

what is visual imagery constructed from?

information in memory

what use much of the sane meural machinery?

imagery and perception

Separation between?

structures involved and processes acting on those structures

Kosslyn and Schwartz Theory- image structures

Surface represenations

Deep representations

Deep representations

literal encodings where points of image should be placed

propositional encodings information about parts, sizes, loca

Surface represntations

object or scene that underlies our imagery

visual buffer used as coordinate space

Kosslyn and Schwartz Theory

mental images can be scanned and the time it takes to scan them increases with the distance in the imagined scene, mirroring visual perception
