Its purpose is to organize the information received from the other components with information about time and order.

Language impairment can be influenced by brain damage (Toates, 2010). This, Gall cited in Toates, (2010), was able to conclude from his studies of normal individuals and those whose behaviour deviated from the norm. He argued that different parts of the outer regions of the brain serve different roles or functions (localisation). These he related back to the control of cognitive processes, characteristics and behaviour. Additionally he identified that different regions of the brain interact or work together to enable a process.
A experiment was carried out by Glanzer and Cunitz. They did an experiment to find evidence for the existence of separate short term and long term memory stores. For this experiment participants were presented a list, one at a time they had to recall words in any order, they were divided into two groups for this. One group had to recall words in Immediate recall while the other group had to do it in delayed recall. The findings of the experiment showed that the immediate recall group remembered the first and last words best and the delayed group remembered the words from the beginning of the list best.
As the development become more pronounced the forebrain and hindbrain divides into two parts, and thus the fully formed brain is recognised as having five major divisions which are telencephalon and diencephalon (which together constitutes the forebrain), the midbrain which is also called the mesencephalon and the hindbrain. Their function ranges from memory, planning, vision and body movement. However the analysis before hand is an endeavour to table out the structures of the brain and their functions. Neave (2008) asserts that the mind is made up of the forebrain which consists of the cerebrum, thalamus and hypothalamus which make up the limbic system .The midbrain consists of the tectum and tegmentum whilst the hindbrain is made up of the cerebellum, pons and medulla. Often the midbrains, pons and medulla are referred together as brainstem.

Outline and evaluate the model of working memory In this essay I am going outline what is working memory in terms of psychology and evaluate it in terms of both advantages and limitation of the working memory model. The fact that short-term memory contains both new information and information retrieved from long-term memory has led some psychologists to prefer the term ‘working memory’ (Baddeley and Hitch, 1974; Baddeley, 1986,1992) Working memory model is an alternative to the multi-store model; it is a far more complex explanation of short-term memory. Baddeley and Hitch argued that the short-term memory was made up of several subsystems, each of them have a specialized function, rather than the short-term memory model being a single inflexible store. According to Martin, G. N, Carlson, N.R & Buskist, W. (2006) “According to Baddeley, working memory is a short-term memory system that allows us to retain material for current use and not just for transport into long-term memory.” Baddeley suggested this short-term memory as having three independent components that allow us to store temporarily visuo-spatial material and verbal material. These components were so-called the Visuo-Spatial Sketchpad and the Phonological Loop.
Ipso-facto human brain is the primary source of human behavior. Under this broad domain of human behavior, speech perception is a part. The whole process of speech perception involves many complex aspects and this paper is partly an attempt to understand speech perception in terms of its physiological and psychological attributes. The hearing process is controlled by human ear which is also a complex organ; the auditory information captured by the human ear is delivered
The frontal lobe regulates movement and handles language production. The parietal lobe deals with sensations. These two halves communicate by means of a bundle of axons Importance in the Brain 2 called, the corpus callous, and each side of the brain controls the opposite side of the body. See, two is better than one. The largest and most important section or Lobe is the Frontal which involves voluntary movement, thinking, personality, and intentionality or purpose.
Substantial evidence exists to support a general dependency of reasoning upon short term memory capacity. The longer information is stored in short term memory the easier it is to manipulate information needed in the execution of complex cognitive tasks (e.g. short term memory has been shown to be correlated with problem solving, learning, reasoning, and reading comprehension). One of the models that attempts to explain how working memory functions is the multi component model of working memory. The articulator loop and the visuo-spatial sketch pad are responsible for short term maintenance of information and the central executive is responsible for coordinating these two systems.
