Working Memory Model Quiz 2

What is the role of the central executive in the Working Memory Model?

• It is responsible for auditory processing

• It is responsible for long-term memory storage

• It coordinates the operation of the sub-systems of processing and storage

• It is involved in visual processing

What is the function of the phonological loop in the Working Memory Model?

• It holds visual and spatial information

• It temporarily holds several sources of information active at the same time

• It is responsible for auditory memory traces

• It is involved in decision-making

What is the purpose of the episodic buffer in the Working Memory Model?

• It is responsible for auditory processing

• It holds visual and spatial information

• It temporarily holds several sources of information active at the same time

• It integrates information from the other components with long-term memory

What do dual-task experiments support in relation to the Working Memory Model?

• The model's prediction that disruption of the phonological loop through the use of articulatory suppression results in more accurate working memory

• The model's prediction that disruption of the phonological loop through the use of articulatory suppression results in less accurate working memory

• The model's prediction that the central executive has unlimited capacity

• The model's prediction that the visuospatial sketchpad is responsible for auditory memory traces

What is one of the limitations of the Working Memory Model?

• It has a well-defined role for the central executive

• It provides a clear understanding of how the various components of the model interact

• It does not explain memory distortion or the role of emotion in memory formation

• It explains long-term memory processes in detail

What did Landry and Bartling's experiment using articulatory suppression aim to investigate?

• The impact of auditory processing on working memory

• The impact of visual processing on working memory

• The impact of articulatory suppression on the recall of a written list of phonologically similar letters

• The impact of the central executive on working memory

What do brain scans show in relation to the Working Memory Model?

• The same area of the brain is active when carrying out verbal and visual tasks

• Different areas of the brain are active when carrying out verbal and visual tasks

• The central executive is responsible for all cognitive tasks

• The phonological loop is responsible for visual processing

What is the main role of the central executive's supervisory attention level?

• It is based on habits that rely on schemas in long-term memory

• It deals with planning and decision-making

• It holds auditory memory traces

• It is involved in visual processing

What is the function of the phonological store in the phonological loop?

• It is responsible for long-term memory storage

• It holds visual and spatial information

• It holds auditory memory traces

• It is involved in decision-making

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

• Central executive

• Episodic buffer

• Phonological loop

• Visuospatial sketchpad
