Memory - the working memory model

In the context of cognitive psychology, who developed the theory that explains how humans process and store information? Yumiko is particularly interested in this topic for her upcoming project.

• Pavlov & Ebbinghaus

• Baddeley & Hitch

• Watson & Skinner

• Freud & Jung

In what year was the influential Working Memory Model, a cornerstone in cognitive psychology, first introduced? Makayla is particularly interested in this model for her research.

• 1982

• 1955

• 1963

• 1974

In a busy office, Emma compares the role of which part of the Working Memory Model to the 'boss'?

• Central Executive

• Phonological Loop

• Visuo-Spatial Sketchpad

• Episodic Buffer

During a busy day at work, Sarah tries to remember a list of tasks her boss told her, including a report for Rachel, a presentation for Aiden, and a budget review for Molly. What cognitive component is she primarily using?

• Spatial information

• Visual information

• Verbal information

• Emotional information

Imagine Aiden is trying to remember the layout of Thea's new apartment after a quick tour. Which component of the WMM is responsible for this temporary storage of visual and spatial information?

• Visuo-Spatial Sketchpad

• Episodic Buffer

• Central Executive

• Phonological Loop

Imagine Gabbi is working on a complex project that requires her to remember a recent meeting's discussion, visualize the project's blueprint, and understand her team's feedback all at once. Which component of the Working Memory Model helps Gabbi integrate all this information effectively?

• Controls attention

• Manipulates mental images

• Integrates information from all components

• Stores verbal information

Which case study, discussed by Liz and Mariam, supports the existence of separate components for visual and acoustic information in short-term memory?

• Phineas Gage

• Patient KF

• HM

• Clive Wearing

Which type of studies have shown that people, including Molly and Zach, can simultaneously perform a memory task and a visual tracking task, suggesting the existence of multiple components within our short-term memory (STM)?

• Dual-task studies

• Longitudinal studies

• Case studies

• Cross-sectional studies

During a study session, Makayla and Claudiu noticed a limitation of the WMM in their learning process. What was it?

• It only focuses on STM

• It does not account for emotional memory

• It overemphasizes the role of rehearsal

• It ignores the role of the unconscious mind

Imagine Ellie is trying to redecorate her room and she's visualizing where each piece of furniture will go. Which component of the WMM is primarily responsible for this manipulation of mental images?

• Phonological Store

• Articulatory Control Process

• Visual Cache

• Inner Scribe
