Document Summary
Tend to remember words at the end of the list better than the words earlier in the list. The reason why is, the items are stored in there, you are basically just dumping out that basket that you have learned the last few seconds. The many faces of working memory and short-term storage (cowman, in press) Wrote this because there are a million definitions of working memory" and said we need to have a universal of it: here are just 9 most common definitions of working memory". Working memory: memory as it is used to plan and carry out behavior. Instead of holding physical items (visual and spatial) holds auditory information (verbal) ****evidence suggests that information can be simultaneously maintained with these. Modality: the way that information is presented and contained. Would be remiss if we didn"t talk about baddeley. There are three major components to his theory. Visuo-spatial sketch pad: memory store for visual and spatial information.
