The working memory model


A big criticism of the multi-store model is that it is over-simplistic and doesn't allow for the complexity of human memory. The working memory model breaks down short-term memory into a number of different components and is significantly more complex. You need to be able to describe both models, give an account of the research that supports them and also compare the models in terms of their validity. 

The big powerpoint containing all the research from the last few lessons on the working memory model is here.

You also have to complete your practical work and write up the results (due after half term - Thursday 9th November). The title of the project is 'Does articulatory suppression eliminate the word length effect?'. A copy of the guideline sheet for the write-up is here.
