For the working memory model I have no idea because I either do Levels of Processing or the Multi-store model of memory. For the Multi store of memory good evaluation points are:
a) [negative] Studies that support the theory use words and digits in stimulus lists that may not be a realistic use of memory thus the task lacks mundane realism
b) [negative] Lab research may give an unnatural view of memory since lab experiments are conducted in artificial environments
c) [positive] Brown (1958) & Peterson and Peterson (1959) found that blocking rehearsal resulted in poor recall
d) [negative] Rehearsal of information does not necessarily lead to better recall. Craik and Watkins found that recall was unrelated neither duration in Short-Term Memory nor the number of times words were rehearsed.
e) [positive] Brain damaged patients provide strong evidence for Short-term Memory and Long-Term Memory distinction, as brain damage may focus on one part of memory leaving the other intact i.e. short term memory destroyed yet long term memory left intact.
f) [positive] Glanzer and Cunitz (1966) research into the primary recency effect showed that there is distinction between short term and long term memory.

I didn't think LOP was in new spec?
And Thanks for the points!

Be careful this is for the old spec!!! I am sure this still counts for the new specification but it's from the old spec :P

Sorry, I meant 'payment'. I've written the wrong word in my notes. It is just the amount of money that they get for participating. e.g. Milgram's particpants were given $4.50, and Burger's participants were given $50. Glad it helps.

Wait so it's possible that old spec content can still come up even if it's not included in new spec?

How many participants were there in craik and tulvings study on levels of processing??

24 I believe

And is the social key issue prejudice????

Thank you for the fast response!!!!!!!

And is the social key issue prejudice????

Does Social Identity Theory state that prejudice only occurs when there's competition between groups or that prejudice can arise even when there isn't competition???
