Processes & representations are much more continuous and graded than the clean little boxes in any cognitive psych model of memory. On the other hand, there's a <A HREF="http://develintel.blogspot.com/2006/10/Chris Chathamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03275787429920482219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34641463.post-432270290971939802007-06-25T10:12:00.000+01:002007-06-25T10:12:00.000+01:00Hi Chris - thanks for your comment, appreciated as...Hi Chris - thanks for your comment, appreciated as always!<BR/><BR/>I think many of the problems you referred to concerning labelling of tasks wrt working memory are caused (at least in part) by ambiguity in the definition of working memory itself. I have myself been slightly confused at the distinction between STM and WM. However, I believe this to be because these theorists believe WM to be theAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05470909914174062331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34641463.post-11122909760306800602007-06-19T16:09:00.000+01:002007-06-19T16:09:00.000+01:00Hi Paul - This is a great post.I love your charact...Hi Paul - This is a great post.<BR/><BR/>I love your characterization of WM - "it is long-term memory updated for prospective use." The part about "heterarchical memory" is interesting too. <BR/><BR/>I completely agree with your statement that STM (Atkinson & Shiffrin) was largely replaced by the WM model. In some cases, theorists will still refer to STM and WM as distinct, insofar as WM Chris Chathamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03275787429920482219noreply@blogger.com
