Imagine you are studying for an exam. How does the episodic buffer in your working memory model assist you?

• It stores the visual information, like the diagrams in your textbook.

• It processes the auditory information, like the lecture you are listening to.

• It links the information you are studying to your long-term memory.

• It allocates your attention to other systems, like your phone notifications.

What is the capacity of the central executive in the working memory model?

• Unlimited

• Two seconds

• Limited to what you're paying attention to

• Limited to what you can see

Which study supports the existence of separate stores for auditory and visual information in the working memory model?

• Spurling

• Dual Task Experiments

• Word length effect

• Baddeley 1966b

Imagine you are listening to a lecture. What role does the phonological loop in your working memory model play in this scenario?

• It stores the visual information of the lecture slides

• It processes the auditory information from the lecture

• It allocates attention to other systems like taking notes

• It links the information from the lecture to your long-term memory

Imagine you are studying for an exam and you keep repeating a particular formula in your head. Which component of the working memory model is responsible for this?
