Document Summary
In its early days, behaviorist theory sought to avoid mentalistic terms (terms that referred to representations or processes inside the mind). (page 11) transcendental model: a type of theorizing first proposed by the philosopher immanuel kant. In newer studies, the operation span test is used. (page 16) working memory: the storage system in which information is held while that information is being worked on. All indications are that working memory is a system, not a single entity, and that information is held here via active processes, not via some sort of passive storage. Formerly called short-term memory. (page 16) phonological buffer: a passive storage device that serves as part of the articulatory rehearsal loop. The phonological buffer is one of the mechanisms that are ordinarily needed for hearing. In memory rehearsal, however, the buffer is loaded by means of subvocalization. This loop draws on subvocalized (covert) speech, which serves to create a record in the phonological buffer.
