Modularity, working memory and language acquisition (Alan D Baddeley)
Modularity
Lashley (1929)
-
Proposed two principles, namely
‘mass action’ and ‘equipotentiality’
Mass action:brain operates as a whole, a view that has stood the test of time in that there continues to be a broad association between the amount of tissue loss and capacity for new learning
-
-
Working memory
Short Term Memory (STM)
-
Components
phonological loop which was assumed to comprise a short term store, capable of maintaining verbal information for few seconds
-
in another study stated that children identified as having specific language impairment appeared to have deficit in their phonological loop
