Understanding Memory Models and Processes 2

Which component of the working memory model is responsible for coordinating the activities of the phonological loop and the visuospatial sketchpad?

• Sensory memory

• Central executive

• Long-term memory

• Echoic memory

Rohan is studying for his psychology exam and is trying to remember the information by focusing on its meaning. In the levels of processing model, which type of processing is Rohan using?

• Structural processing

• Phonemic processing

• Semantic processing

• Iconic processing

What is the primary function of the phonological loop in the working memory model?

• To process visual and spatial information

• To store and rehearse verbal information

• To encode information into long-term memory

• To strengthen synaptic connections

Which type of memory is responsible for the initial, brief storage of sensory information?

• Short-term memory

• Long-term memory

• Sensory memory

• Working memory

Long-term potentiation is a biological process that primarily affects which aspect of memory?

• Encoding

• Storage

• Retrieval

• Forgetting

In the multi-store model, what is the role of short-term memory?

• To permanently store information

• To process sensory input

• To temporarily hold information for processing

• To retrieve information from long-term memory

Which type of sensory memory is specifically associated with auditory information?

• Iconic memory

• Echoic memory

• Semantic memory

• Phonemic memory

What does the visuospatial sketchpad in the working memory model primarily handle?

• Verbal information

• Auditory information

• Visual and spatial information

• Semantic processing

Which level of processing is considered the shallowest in the levels of processing model?

• Semantic processing

• Phonemic processing

• Structural processing

• Iconic processing

In the context of memory models, what is the primary focus of effortful processing?

• Automatic encoding of information

• Conscious and deliberate encoding of information

• Retrieval of information without conscious effort

• Strengthening of synaptic connections
