Drawing on empirical and clinical research, evaluate the importance of rehearsal, imagery, formation of associations, and application of meaning in the encoding of new memories. The modal model of working memory consists of the central executive and two slave systems, the phonological loop and the visuo-spatial sketchpad. (Baddeley & Hitch, 1974, as cited in Baddeley, 1999). The phonological loop, which retains verbal material, in terms of speech-based characteristics, is further divided into a store and an active process. Phonological representations are held in the store and will then decay if not reactivated by rehearsal, the active process. The sobvocal articulatory rehearsal process allows inputs to access the phonological short-term store. Rehearsal is important, therefore, in the encoding of new memories into short-term memory. Evidence for the phonological loop includes articulatory suppression (Richardson & Baddeley, 1975), word length effects (Baddeley et al., 1975) and phonological similarity effects (Conrad & Hull, 1964), which...
