Multicomponent model: baddely & hitch"s multicomponent model of wm is composed of 3(4) different parts, central executive: control centre of wm. Visuospatial information is constructed, maintained, and manipulated (e. g. folding a block in your head) In this model memory fades because we start letting irrelevant information come in. [go through 3 hypotheses: what are some assumptions and limitations of depth of processing, what are some types of implicit memory (differentiate between them) The delay between presentation and test expands in subsequent trials if retrieval at encoding is unsuccessful, this delay contracts.
