QLD Unit 3 Models of Memory

What cognitive process allows us to remember something?

• Rehearsal

• Retrieval

• Recall

• Attention

What was the aim of the Peterson and Peterson experiment?

• To test the capacity of the short-term store

• To test the duration of the sensory store

• To test the duration of the short-term store

• To test the capacity of the long-term store

What is the definition of "working memory?"

• A large amount of information that can be held in an especially accessible state and used in cognitive tasks.

• A small amount of information that can’t be held in an especially accessible state and unused in cognitive tasks.

• A small amount of information that can be held in an especially accessible state and used in cognitive tasks.

• A large amount of information that can’t be held in an especially accessible state and used in cognitive tasks.

What is the "magic number" capacity of the WMM?

• 7

• 7 +/- 2

• 5 +/- 2

• 4

Which part of the model has a 'supervisory role'?

• Central executive

• Episodic buffer

• Phonological loop

• Visuospatial sketchpad

The WMM was developed by...

• Sebastian and Hernandez-Gil

• Atkinson and Shiffrin

• Baddeley and Hitch

• Tulving and Bartlett

Baddeley asked ppts to do two tasks: track a moving light and picture a letter F. Which system do these both use?

• Phonological loop

• Visuospatial sketchpad

Memory can be defined as the process of 

• encoding, storing and retrieving information.
• stroing of information
• processing of information
• none of the above

The research study of Baddeley & Hitch can proof the following, except...

• working memory model is valid

• we can do multitask in certain capacity

• short term storage is more than single storage

• hippocampus is the bridge between STS and LTS

One limitation of multistore memory model is...

• It states that short term storage is single storage

• It states that short term storage has limited capacity

• It states that long term memory is affected by emotion

• It states that working memory is too simple
