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 LTM store.

• The Working Memory Model argues that there is more than one STM store.

• The Working Memory Model argues that rehearsal does not move information from STM to LTM.

• The Working Memory Model argues that STM is of unlimited capacity and duration.

Articulatory suppression tasks support the working memory model because by disrupting repetition by the "inner voice" (articulatory rehearsal component), they

• decrease accuracy of recall of phonologically stored information

• increase accuracy of recall of phonologically stored information

• have no effect on the accuracy of recall of phonologically stored information

The System1/System 2 dual processing model of thinking is assumed to work by
