Baddeley’s Model of Short Term or “Working” Memory
[ send me this paper ]
This 12 page report discusses Alan Baddeley’s working memory model (published with Gregory Hitch in 1974). According to the model, working memory consists of three components: a phonological (articulatory) loop that is responsible for speech-based information, a visuospatial sketch pad that is responsible for visual images, and a central executive which integrates information from the two other structures in conjunction with information from long term memory. In his model of working memory, Baddeley demonstrated that those multiple components of working memory serve as the mechanisms for the temporary maintenance of information. The central executive also plays a role in planning and controlling behavior. What Baddeley ultimately demonstrates, both through his model and his many other contributions in the field, is what an important role memory plays in the day-to-day lives of human beings.

Bandura’s Social Learning Theory: Case Study
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing Bandura’s social learning theory in relation to a case study. The case of the 26 year old male who was convicted of rape can be studied applying several of the concepts used in Bandura’s “social learning theory”. Essentially, Bandura’s theory, which is highly accepted, explains that all behaviors whether aggressive or non-aggressive are observed and learned from within an individual’s social environment. Individuals who have witnessed aggressive behavior are more inclined to become aggressive themselves and this aggressiveness increases when the observed aggressiveness has been rewarded. Once learned, aggressive behavior is also organized and rehearsed which in the rapist’s case was indicated in his suspected attempted rape a few weeks earlier. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
