Explain the interaction between long term working memory (LT-WM) and short term working memory (ST-WM) as proposed by Ericsson and Kintsch
What will be an ideal response?
Answer must trace this connection:
• Short term working memory is insufficient as a resource for meaning construction
• The capacity for short-term memory is limited.
• To comprehend text, readers must access more information than short term memory can hold.
• Forms of long term memory link to forms of short term memory so chunks of information can come into consciousness.
• In this way the ST-WM has ready access to LT-WM to make meaning of complex text using prior knowledge stored in the long term memory.
• thus, LT-WM expands working memory.
