Working Memory Model
Storyboard Text
- Yes of course honey, I will explain it to you. Lets go to the dinning room to discuss it
- Hey Mom! You know, today I was talking with my friends about what we were doing a year ago and well, I couldn't remember much, so we went on to talk about how memory works and that probably I just have a small brain. I don't really believe them, so could you maybe explain memory to me?
- So, you know the brain is a like a puzzle, all the pieces work together to help you remember
-
- It all begins with your senses, your eyes, smell, taste, hearing, and touch.
- That information is then transferred to a place called the central executive. You can think of it as the boss of the memories. It controls especially the attention, that being the automatic levels with things like walking, and the supervisory attention level which sees things like emergencies.
- Remember this, and that!
- The Visuospatial sketchpad, you can think of it as your brain sketching what you see, and how you remember spaces (how big they were)
- Then there are 3 other parts in the short term memory
- The episodic buffer, you can see it as an episode of a series, as it is the part that remembers details of an event. This is only temporary unless it was really important information. This is where your memories from last year must have gotten lost
- Lastly we have the phonological loop. I always think of someone talking on the phone because the phonological loop controls your memory of sounds, both the once you hear and the onces you make when talking
- All this information are kept in short term memory, and if you keep rehearsing the fact or they are really important facts, then you will be able to remember a lot of things. So, next time you talk with your friends you can explain to them all this, see, it isn't that you have a small brain
- Thank you so much Mom!
