Baddeley's model of working memory

Susan, a 45-year-old woman, wife and mother of two has been having memory difficulties and impaired movement of the right side of her body. With no indication as to what caused these difficulties Susan may be experiencing problems with motivation, learning and different types of memory. The different types of memory Susan may be having difficulty with include long term memory (LTM), short term memory (STM) and working memory, all of which can have an impact on how therapy is conducted and how…

Memory: the Multi-store Model vs. the Working Memory Model The multi-store model was the first model that attempted to explain the process of memory. The multi-store model is oversimplified and is not detailed enough to explain how memory works in everyday life. The working memory model is a more accurate description of the process of short-term memory and how short-term memories are converted into long-term memories. The multi-store model is able to explain the cognitive processes begin…

plan and organise himself. The information processing theory may be able to explain why Max and Tom are doing poorly at school. According to this theory, working memory is where thinking occurs and where information is temporarily held for processing (Bergin & Bergin, 2015). Tom’s inattention due to his ADHD is having an effect on his working memory and he experiences cognitive load as he often receives too much information to process. Executive…

performance especially working memory. Many college students read, do homework or prepare for exams while listening to music. Background music is an important environmental factor in our learning context that may have impact on our attention span and later recall of information. However, whether background music serves as a distractor or enhancer on memory remain an open question. Some studies suggest that long-term music training positively related to improvements in working memory.…

Cognitive psychology is a branch of psychology with mental processes such as perception, thinking, learning, and memory. The first recognition of the field of cognitive psychology was George Mandler, in 1964 upon creating a facility known as the Center for Human Information Processing (Kiderra, 2016). The “cognitive revolution” fifty years ago sparked new ideas about the way people thought about the mind. Without cognitive psychology, psychologists would still believe the brain was a random mass…

Working Memory Index On the Working Memory Index, which measures his ability to temporarily store and perform a set of cognitive operations on information that requires divided attention and the management of the limited capacity of short-term memory, Julian scored in the Low Average range on both subtests. On the first subtest, Digit Span, he was verbally presented with three sets of numbers. On the first set, Julian had to repeat the numbers back to the examiner in the correct order. On the…

Working Memory (WM) Working memory is defined as a kind of mental “workbench” where individuals manipulate and assemble information when they make decisions, solve problems, comprehend written and spoken language (Baddely, 2012). And is central in a wide range of cognitive abilities. WM and Bilingualism The primary process of executive function includes cognitive control like inhibition and shifting in working memory. This involves the ability to override a habitual but incorrect response…

Over the course of this class I feel that we have had many different chances to learn and understand some key concepts. Every day we use different concepts from impressions of others to attractiveness to one another. A few that stood out to me from over this semester so far are first impression, jargon, and stereotypes. These concepts can all be used in different television shows or movies. The shows I think that best portrays these different concepts are Chicago Fire and Chicago PD. Seeing…

different research that proposed to explain how working memory capacity and different processing strategies enhance or interfere with memory performance. Although the literature cover different research, this review will focus in encoding and retrieval process of information, and the importance of working memory capacity. There is an important relation between individual differences in Working Memory Capacity (WMC) and retrieving information from long-term memory (LTM). In this literature review…
