Document Summary
2 main divisions: central executive (phonological loop and visuospatial sketchpad) Phonological loop = remembering numbers, etc. and keep it in mind (there"s passive part of phonological loop, fades after 2 seconds, short-term buffer, but if you rehearse the info it"ll get passed onto long term memory) Visuospatial sketchpad = processing the special locations and properties of objects. *you"re using working memory when in a lecture or watching a movie, etc: long term memory (declarative and procedural) Declarative = familiar memory of facts, common sense knowledge, etc. and episodic memories, these have to do with biographical info (what you did last summer, etc. ) consciously report various facts you know. Procedural = more implicit, not consciously accessible, can"t verbally report even though it"s there for a long time. Any kind of basic skill you"ve ever learned, being able to drive, tie your shoelaces, etc. ) *long term = wide ranged, can be a couple minutes or years.
