工作记忆同中心模型

The Concentric Model of Working Memory

回顾了同中心模型研究方法和近期研究结果,从工作记忆注意焦点容量、存储与加工关系及工作记忆容量个体差异等三方面阐述该模型的理论意义,通过与嵌套加工模型、多成分模型及Unsworth和Engle的工作记忆观点比较,分析该模型优势及不足。文末展望未来研究方向。

The Concentric Model of Working Memory specifies three regions in which memory contents can be held： the focus of attention, the region of direct access, and the activated part of long-term memory. This article reviews the main research methods and the latest evidence of the model, followed by its theoretical contributions to the study of working memory, including providing explanations for the capacity of the focus of attention, the relationships between storage and processing, and individual differences in working memory capacity. Moreover, the article discusses the relationships between the model and other working memory models, namely Cowan＇s embedded-process model, Baddeley＇s multi-component model, and Engle＇s opinions of working memory. In the end, the article makes some suggestions for further research.
