The Working Memory Model

1081 Words5 Pages

Working Memory Model The Working Memory Model is continued from the previous research of Atkinson’s and Shiffrin’s (1968) multi-store model that was tremendously successful in terms of the amount of research it produced. However, Allan Baddeley and Graham Hitch (1974) developed a substitute model of short-term memory which they called “working memory” because of it became obvious that there were a number of gaps with their ideas relating to the characteristics of short-term memory. They found that the overall idea provided by the Multi-Store Model about of short-term memory (STM) is too simple. Based to the Multi-Store Model, STM is a unitary system that holds partial quantity of information for short time with relatively little process and …show more content…

It consists of two components which are articulatory control system act as internal voice and the phonological store act as inner ear - (not the physical ear canals). The phonological store that linked to speech perception holds information in spoken communication-based course for example spoken words for 1-2 minutes. Spoken words enter the store directly. Written words must first be changed into an articulator (spoken) code before they can go into the phonological store. The second one is The articulatory control process (linked to speech production) works like an inner voice rehearsing information from the phonological store. It circulates information round and circle like a tape loop. This is how we remember a telephone number we have scarcely learned. As long as we continue repeating it, we can hold back the data in working memory. The articulatory control process also converts written material into an articulatory code and transfers it to the phonological …show more content…

The evaluation of the working memory model has replaced the idea of a unitary (single part) STM as suggested by the multistore model. The working memory model is more details compare to the multistore model. It makes sense, of a range of tasks for example, reading, verbal reasoning, problem solving, comprehension, visual and spatial processing. And the model is supported by considerable experimental evidence. The working memory also can be applied to real life tasks such as problem solving (central executive), reading (phonological loop),) and navigation (visual and spatial processing). Other than that Working memory is supported by dual task studies and the model does not over emphasize the importance of rehearsal for STM retention, in contrast to the multi-store

    An example of using short term memory in my life would be when I’m going to a place and I have to remember the address and then I use it in my GPS, but then I don’t really remember it after a couple of hours. This would also be an example of working memory because I would use my long term memory to help keep that address locked in my head until I don’t need to use it

    SAY, the Stuttering Association for the Youth, supports children who stutter feel less alone, and feel more self-confident. Stuttering can make a person repeat, or stretch out syllables, and/or become silent in the middle of a word or sentence. As mentioned in the article,” The Incredible Power of Speech”, it’s no surprise that scientists find it difficult to discover a cure for stuttering. The complex production of your voice includes the working together of your body parts. Regardless of the curing process being a hard and an extremely complicated one, according to, “The Incredible Power of Speech”, scientists have managed to pinpoint parts of the brain that control speech.

    The production vocal learning is that of learning to produce new sounds vocally from learned experience. The usage vocal learning is that of learning to use already known vocalizations in new ways or using innate vocalizations. The auditory learning is that of learning to understand, but not produce it, a new vocalization and react in accordance to experience with the sound. Different studies of non-human primates over the years have shown proof that some non-human primates are capable of all three types of learning with language, but to what depths the ability to learn goes has not been completely researched. Petkov and Jarvis (2012) believe that a portion of research in this area is questionable because of conflicting results across different studies, but that if research studies are replicated that this might show more true results in the future.

    Abrams’ (2008) explained the speech process is initiated by a nonverbal message, which is described as a general idea of what an individual wants to say. Subsequently, words are selected to translate the message, this is referred to as a lexical access. The lexical access is defined by two processes known as the lemma and phonology. The lemma contains the syntax, or the grammatical context of the word, in addition to the semantics, or meanings of the words. The sounds that form to create the word are known as the phonology of the word.

    The sound system is more complex and inconsistent in English than in other languages. There are more than 40 different phonemes in spoken English, and there can be a number of different phonemes to represent the same sound (for example, f and ph'). Phonics helps us to look at the different letter patterns together, along with their sounds. Synthetic phonics puts the teaching of letters and sounds into an orderly framework. It requires the reader to learn simpler individual sounds first, then start to put them together to form words, and finally progress to the most complex combinations.

    If information stored in the short-term memory is not learned and given attention, it will decay over time (Schunk 2012, p. 183). The short-term memory has a small capacity, and large amounts of information cannot all be stored (Schunk 2012, p. 183). To make it esier, information can be shortened or broken up to fit it in the short-term memory (Schunk 2012, p. 183). Information that is used will be transferred into the long-term store/ long-term memory (Schunk 2012, p. 183). There are different strategies to strengthen the memory of information from short-term to long-term.

    Processing speed has been proposed to be a key cognitive resource (Kail & Salthouse, 1994). It is thought that interference occurs in the Stroop test because words are read faster than colours are named. R Schweickert showed that the order of processing is task dependent. In a task that requires the participant to name the colour of the word, much like the Stroop Task, the word is first processed and then the colour. (Schweickert, 1978).

  • Consequences Of Creative Thinking

    Just as the act of retrieval has been argued to modify memory, so might be the act of thinking. Whenever information in memory interferes with some thinking process, that information may be targeted by an inhibitory process that acts to render it less accessible. In this way, thinking may serve to update our memories in the same way that retrieval does, making information that is no longer less recallable, and thus creating access to information that is more likely to b useful. STATEMENT OF PROBLEM The statement of problem for this experiment is that, ‘whether forgetting will induce creative thinking?’

  • The Influence Of Perception

    They proposed that the type of processing that requires a person to be conscious and aware towards performing a task is controlled processing which is slowly occurring and is limited by capacity whereas, in automatic processing, it occurs very fast, there is difficulty in modifying or changing, unavoidable and in contrast to controlled processing isn’t affected by capacity limitations. This model provides us and helps one correlate it with the discovery of the Strop effect, where it specifies that once a person develops the automatic skill to read, it becomes difficult to modify, which gives an answer for controlled process where there is no difficulty faced in reading the given word but to identify the color of the ink in which it has been written. In addition to this, Stroop’s research is also reinforced by Morton and Chambers’s speed processing model(1973) which suggested that people have an ability to read faster than to be able to state colors. They claimed that because reading is said to be very natural and automatic while stating colors is not, there is a clash in the information from various factors when a person is naming colors. It is because of this that people commit mistakes and taken a ling time to

    It comes so naturally to us that we don’t realize how complex a phenomenon speech is. When humans speak, air passes from the lungs through the mouth and nasal cavity, and this air stream is restricted and changed depending on the position of tongue, teeth and lips. This produces contractions and expansions of the air, an acoustic wave, a sound. The sounds so forms are usually called phonemes. The phonemes are combined together to form words [1].
