  • Q4
    Remembering the first and last items of a list better than the items in the middle of a list can be explained by
    The limit of only 7 plus or minus items in STM.
    Rehearsal of the early words - and the fact that the last words are still in STM.
    Brain damage
    Displacement of information from the STM store.

    It does not explain the role of emotion on memory.
    It does not explain how memory can be distorted.
    It is an overly simplistic explanation of memory.

    6-12 seconds
    1-2 seconds
    Less than a second
    30-60 seconds
    30s
  • Q7
    what explains the primacy effect?
    Words from the beginning of a list are kept in the sensory-store
    Words from the beginning of a list are kept in the episodic buffer
    Words from the beginning of a list are kept in long-term memory
    Words from the beginning of a list are kept in short-term memory

  • Q8
    According to the working memory model, what is the main function of the central executive?
    Attention control
    Rehearsal
    Multi-tasking
    Forming a mental picture of what you are trying to remember

  • Q9
    According to the working memory model, the articulatory control system is the _______
    Inner ear
    Inner eye
    Inner touch
    Inner voice

  • Q10
    Kate thinks that she can do her Math homework while having a conversation with a friend on the phone. What prediction would the working memory model make?
    Performance will not be impaired, because the tasks utilize different working memory subsystems
    Performance will be impaired, because doing Math and talking to a friend both utilize the phonological loop
    Performance will be impaired, since the central executive cannot focus on two tasks at once
    Performance will not be impaired, because the episodic buffer can integrate information from different working memory subsystems
    30s
  • Q11
    The part of Baddeley & Hitch's Working Memory Model that processes auditory stimuli is called
    The visual sketchpad
    The central executive
    The episodic buffer
    The phonological loop
    30s
  • Q12
    What is the key difference between the Multi Store Model and the Working Memory Model?
    The Working Memory Model argues that there is more than one STM store.
    The Working Memory Model argues that STM is of unlimited capacity and duration.
    The Working Memory Model argues that rehearsal does not move information from STM to LTM.
    The Working Memory Model argues that there is more than one LTM store.

  • Q13
    Which of the following is not a function of the central executive?
    Oversees the visual and auditory STM stores
    Shifting attention from one task to another.
    It consolidates memory in short term memory and moves it to long-term memory.
    Binding information from a number of sources into coherent "episodes".

  • Q14
    If you are trying to learn a song in Spanish for your school choir, when you are practicing those ancient Roman words in your head, what part of the Working Memory Model is being used?
    The visual sketchpad
    The phonological loop
    The episodic buffer
    The central executive
    30s
  • Q15
    How does Warrington & Shallice's case study of KF support the Working Memory Model?
    It showed that our brains automatically categorize information by visual or auditory stimuli.
    It showed that there are separate stores for LTM and STM in the brain.
    It showed that facial recognition is linked to the visuo-spatial sketchpad.
    It showed that visual and verbal information is processed in different parts of the brain.
