What components does the WMM consist of
the central executive= a limited capacity component for general processing and controls the two slave systems
The phonological loop= a temporary storage component for verbal information
The visuospatial sketchpad= a temporary storage component for spatial AND verbal information
The phonological loop can explain the phonological similarity effect how?
because it’s more difficult to remember similar sounding that different sounding
BUT THIS DOES NIT GO FOR SEMANTIC ENCODING (meaning similarity)
This demonstrates that the phonological loop encodes acoustically
EVALUATION OF THE WMM
strength= application to alzheimers
Alzheimer’s has shown decrease functioning in the central executive, when BADDELEY did a experiment with dual tasks he tested it with Alzheimer’s patients as well, the Alzheimer’s group showed impairment when doing visual and verbal task together , coring to BADDELEY it’s because the central executive could not coordinate the two subsystems
