![]() ![]() Phonological Store (inner ear) processes speech perception and stores spoken words we hear for 1-2 seconds.It is subdivided into the phonological store (which holds information in a speech-based form) and the articulatory process (which allows us to repeat verbal information in a loop). The phonological loop is a component of working memory model that deals with spoken and written material. However, instead of all information going into one single store, there are different systems for different types of information. The Working Memory Model (Baddeley and Hitch, 1974) Therefore, whereas short-term memory can only hold information, working memory can both retainin and process information.įig 1. This means it is a single system (or store) without any subsystems. Whereas working memory is a multi-component system (auditory, and visual). However, as a result of this research, it became apparent that there were a number of problems with their ideas concerning the characteristics of short-term memory.īaddeley and Hitch (1974) argue that the picture of short-term memory (STM) provided by the Multi-Store Model is far too simple.Īccording to the Multi-Store Model, STM holds limited amounts of information for short periods of time with relatively little processing. Working memory theories assume that complex reasoning and learning tasks require a mental workspace to hold and manipulate information.Ītkinson’s and Shiffrin’s (1968) multi-store model was extremely successful in terms of the amount of research it generated.Working memory is important for reasoning, learning and comprehension.Working memory is a multi-component system which includes the central executive, visuospatial sketchpad, phonological loop, and episodic buffer.Working memory is a limited capacity store for retaining information for a brief period while performing mental operations on that information.An electronic edition (3.9MB PDF) was published in 2003. Ivan Sutherland's PhD thesis was reprinted in 1980 under the title " Sketchpad: A man-machine graphical communication system". Possibly of even greater significance and sadly almost ignored in the CAD software market in the 40 years since Ivan Sutherland published his thesis, Sketchpad proved that computers can be used not just for engineering and repetitive drafting but can be used interactively by designers and potentially artists in the concept creation and innovation stage of a product's lifecycle. Sketchpad proved beyond doubt that computers could automate repetitive design and drafting tasks with a reliability and accuracy not possible by manual methods. ![]() Sketchpad's drawings were created, duplicated and stored at 2000:1 scale which allowed very large layouts. if the master drawing was changed then the changes would automatically be propogated through the instances in any duplicates.the master-instance concept allowed the creation of a master drawing and then duplicates to be created which would inherit properties of the objects in the master drawing unless they were locally changed,.an advanced memory architecture was developed that allowed the creation of master objects and "instances" which were very memory efficient copies of the masters,.rubber-banded lines could be constrained to always intersect at a precise angle,.the light pen was used to draw directly on the computer's monitor and incorporated graphical user interface techniques such as rubber-banding of lines and zooming,.Sketchpad's most incredible breakthroughs were in the way that it allowed the user to interact with the computer: The computer occupied about 1,000 square feet (~93 square meters) and the 320kb memory core alone was ~1 cubic yard (~0.76 cubic meters). As with most computers of that era, programs were written in macro-assembler, punched onto paper tape and fed into the computer's paper tape reader. The computer was very advanced for its time and had 320kb main memory, an 8Mb magnetic tape storage device, a 7 inch 1024x1024 monitor, a light pen and a button box. Sketchpad was developed at MIT's Lincoln Laboratory on a TX-2 computer. It is a tribute to Sketchpad's uniqueness that it defined a GUI (Graphical User Interface) more than 20 years before the term was first used. Sketchpad was an innovative system developed in 1963 by Ivan ![]()
