  • Q1
    'Brings together different types of information into a single memory' is a description of what component in the working memory model?
    phonological loop
    visuo-spatial sketch pad
    episodic buffer
    central executive
    30s
  • Q2
    The case of KF supports the Working Memory Model because he had:
    a poor STM but an intact LTM
    no ability to learn new skills
    a near normal ST, but could not recall events from a long time ago
    poor STM for verbal material, but near-normal STM for visual information
    30s
  • Q3
    The phonological loop is made up of two components. These are:
    STM & LTM
    the phonological store and the inner ear
    the central executive and long term store
    the procedural store and episodic store
    30s
  • Q4
    Which component of WMM links working memory with LTM?
    STM
    episodic buffer
    phonological loop
    central executive
    30s
  • Q5
    The fact that there are different types of LTM, suggests what about the Multi-Store Model of memory?
    it has high ecological validity
    it has low ecological validity
    its too complicated
    it's too simplistic
    30s
  • Q6
    What is the role of the central executive?
    to integrate information from the other components
    to rehearse auditory info
    to stay in the middle
    to direct info to the slave systems
    30s
  • Q7
    What is the role of the phonological loop?
    to direct info to the slave systems
    to rehearse auditory info
    it deals with auditory info
    to work as the inner eye
    30s
  • Q8
    What is a weakness of the WMM?
    it has not been tested sufficiently
    it doesn't take into account all sensory info
    it only focuses on STM and doesn't explain how STM moves to LTM
    it has no supporting evidence
    30s
  • Q9
    Who put forward the theory of the WMM?
    Peterson & Peterson
    Jacobs
    Atkinson & Shiffrin
    Baddeley & Hitch
    30s
  • Q10
    What is the role of the visuo spatial sketch pad?
    it manipulates objects
    it rehearses auditory info
    it delegates info to the slave systems
    it deals with visual information
    30s
  • Q11
    The visuo spatial sketch pad is made up of two components:
    the inner scribe and visual cache
    the inner eye and iPad
    the inner scribe and auditory loop
    the inner ear and phonological loop
    30s
  • Q12
    Identify a weakness of the WMM?

    the model does not have a lot of research to support it 

    the model is not useful for helping people with brain damage

    research to support lacks ecological validity
    30s
  • Q13
    In the WMM, what is the capacity of the articulatory control process?
    8 seconds worth of what you can say
    7-9 chunks of info
    2 seconds worth of what you can say
    3-4 letters/numbers
    30s
  • Q14
    What is the capacity of the visuo spatial sketch pad?
    5-7 objects
    up to 9 objects
    2 objects
    3-4 objects
    30s
  • Q15
    What is the capacity of the episodic buffer?
    7 chunks
    4 chunks
    6 chunks
    2 chunks
    30s
