The Working Memory Model...
- A predicts that dual-task performance is completely unimpaired even when both tasks actively compete for the processing resources of the same slave system.
- B is supported by dual-task research, which shows that individuals can successfully perform two tasks simultaneously if they utilize different sub-components.
- C includes an episodic buffer, which was introduced to explain how information from different modalities is integrated and linked to long-term memory.
- D has been praised for providing a highly detailed and fully explained analysis of the exact cognitive mechanisms of the central executive.
- E is supported by the case of patient KF, whose cognitive impairments demonstrated that visual and verbal short-term processing are handled by the same single processor.
