Cards in this group · 5
- A6.12.1The phonological loop holds verbal and numeric information
- A6.12.2The visuospatial sketchpad holds visual and spatial information
- A6.12.3The two subsystems draw on relatively independent resources, so simultaneous information in different channels doesn't interfere
- A6.12.4The central executive coordinates the subsystems and allocates attention, and has its own capacity limit
- A6.12.5Presenting the same information through both visual and verbal channels can raise working memory's effective capacity
