The Working Memory Model QUIZ

Which component of the Multistore model does the Working Memory model (WMM) replace?

• Sensory Memory
• Short-term memory (STM)
• Long-term Memory (LTM)

If two tasks make use of the same component (in working memory) can the task be performed successfully?

• Yes
• No

Choose the correct list of the working memory components.

• Central Executive, Visui-spatial sketch pad, Episodic buffer, Sound component
• Central Executive, Visui-spatial sketch pad, Episodic buffer, Phonological Loop
• The Decider, Visui-spatial sketch pad, Episodic buffer, Phonological Loop
• Central Executive, Vision, Episodic buffer, Phonological Loop

What is the correct definition of the Episodic Buffer ?

• Temporary storage system that allows info from other systems to be combined with info from the LTM.
• Permanent storage system that allows info from other systems to be combined with info from the LTM
• Temporary storage system that allows info from other systems to be combined with info from sensory memory

What two components does the Phonological Loop consist of ?

• The ‘inner sound’ & The ‘inner ear’

• The ‘inner sound’& The ‘inner voice’

• The ‘inner voice’& The ‘inner ear’

• MAGIC

Which research evidence supports the Working Memory Model (WMM) ?

• Baddeley & Hitch (1974)

• Robbins (1996) & Milgram (1972)

• Williams (1996)

• Robbins (1996)

What are the names of the two parts of the phonological loop?

• Articulatory process & visuospatial sketchpad

• Articulatory process & phonological store

• Phonological store & episodic buffer

• Phonological store & visuospatial sketchpad

Which of the following are true in relation to the Central Executive

• Controls the flow of information between the slave systems

• It is modality free

• allows information to be passed backwards and forwards between working memory and long-term memory.

• It has limited capacity

Which of the following are true of the Visuospatial Sketchpad?

• It deals with visual information

• It is modality free

• It deals with spatial awareness

• It is the inner ear

What were the two conditions in Robbin's supporting research study. Note: there are two correct answers.

• the participants’ visuospatial sketchpad was interfered with as they had to repeat the word “the” every second to the rhythm of a metronome.

• the participants’ phonological loop was interfered with as they had to repeat the word “the” every second to the rhythm of a metronome.

• the participant's visuospatial sketchpad was interfered with as they had to type-specific numbers into a keyboard in a particular order, with the hand that they were not using, while they were arranging the pieces with the other hand.

• the participant's episodic buffer was interfered with as they had to type-specific numbers into a keyboard in a particular order, with the hand that they were not using, while they were arranging the pieces with the other hand.
