Common words and slower word presentation. |
|
|
Recency words are not yet taken out of STM. Recency effect is also not affected by word |
Rate or frequency. It is also weakened by distraction.

Attkinson & Shiffrin made the MSM (multistore model) but it is more complex and in reality.. |
STM is not a single type of storage location. |
|
|
STM contains Working Memory which contains the ..........., ..................., ................. |
Visuo-Spatial scratchpad, Central Executive and Phonological Loop. |
|
|
Working memory focuses on |
Process and Function. |
|
|
The Visuo-Spatial Scratchpad |
Processes information in a visual format. |
|
|
The Phonological Loop |
Processes information in an auditory format, in a loop, over and over. |
