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.
