Term
|
Definition
| Performing two tasks at the same time where the two tasks interfere with one another if they require access to a common resource and if their combined demands exceed its capacity. |

Term
| Articulatory rehearsal loop |
|
Definition
| A limited-capacity, speech-based store capable of storing two to three items that Baddeley and Hitch (1974) assumed was one of the components of working memory. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| This second component of working memory Baddeley and Hitch (1974) assumed was a limited-capacity workspace that was responsible for activities including but extending beyond reasoning, comprehension, learning and memory by flexibly allocated to control processes or temporary information storage. |

| Baddeley's (1983) tripartite model |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A secondary task involving the repetition of a redundant and irrelevant word such as the the the the. This secondary task occupies the articulatory loop so that the primary task has to manage without the articulatory loop (or at least without a large part of its functioning). |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Intended to disrupt access to a specific function such as the articulatory loop. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A task that is potentially impeded by the loss of supporting functions that have been allocated to a secondary task. |

Term
|
Definition
| Silent, internal speech that Baddeley et al. (1984) theorized as a control process within the articulatory loop that is used to verbally recode visual input |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Baddeley et al's (1984) two-component account of the articulatory loop consisting of a decaying phonological store and a control process of subvocal rehearsal.

Term
|
Definition
| Baddeley's (2000) proposed multimodal episodic buffer that integrates information across modalities and is closely associated with consciousness. |

Definition
| Serial order is coded by forming associations between consecutive items. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Presenting a sequence of items in rhythmic temporal groups brings about a marked reduction in order errors in immediate recall (Ryan, 1969) |
