The description and evaluation on the Working Memory Model Developed by Baddeley and Hitch (74’), the working memory model represents our short term memory; it is a dynamic processor of different types of information. The working memory model is categorised into four components which take on different roles when in the process of either storing or manipulating information. At the top of the model we have the central executive which is seen at the most important part of the model, its role is to

What is memory? Memory is involved in all aspects of our lives, is it a cognitive thinking process or a way of retaining information or is it a number of connected stores or even actual information retained. According to Reber (1985), it is possibly all of these. Memory has not been defined as a single process or fact and several theories exist about its nature, character and structure. We have vast amounts of information stored in our memory systems which we are able to access quickly and

ATTENTION: -Lab Stroop Effect’s Theory: During the experiment, it was more difficult to indicate the color ink that the word was shown in when the word itself indicated a non-corresponding color. This is the Stroop Effect: the finding that people identify the color of a word more slowly when color and word are incongruent (for example, the word BLUE printed in a red color) than when color and word are congruent (for example the word BLUE printed in blue). But why is identifying the color of

AO1: Shriffin et al proposed the Multi-Store Memory model (MSM), a structural model composed of 3 separate stores: Sensory memory (SM), Short-term memory (STM) and Long-term memory (LTM). The sensory memory receives constant information from environmental stimuli through the senses. It stays in the SM for short periods because it receives little attention. However, if attention is focused on these stimuli, it becomes processed into the STM. Rehearsal maintains information in the STM but can
