Document Summary

How is this model different from the three-box model"s. Baddeley"s model of working memory differs from the three box model in the following ways: Alan baddeley suggested that a more complex model of memory was required to include how memory relates to our moment-to-moment conscious experiences. The three box model suggests that the stm holds limited amounts of info for short periods of time, insinuating that working memory is a single, unitary store. Rather than a single construct, baddeley"s model illustrates short-term remembering--which includes a combination of memory components/slave systems--that can temporarily store small amounts of info for short periods of time. While, the three-box model asserts human memory has three components (sensory, stm, and ltm), baddeley"s model of working memory includes a fourth system. The three box model of memory implies that we have three functionally distinct memory stores including sensory memory, stm, and ltm.
