Memory and Decision Making Quiz

Which component of the working memory model is responsible for visual and spatial information?

• Phonological loop

• Visuospatial sketchpad

• Central executive

• Episodic buffer

Which model of memory includes sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory?

• Working memory model

• Levels of processing model

• Multistore model

• Connectionist model

The phonological loop is primarily involved in processing:

• Visual information

• Auditory information

• Semantic information

• Procedural information

Which of the following best describes the central executive in the working memory model?

• It stores acoustic information.

• It processes visual information.

• It coordinates attention and problem-solving.

• It encodes long-term memories.

The serial position effect supports the multistore model by demonstrating:

• The influence of schemas on memory

• The separation of short-term and long-term memory

• The role of the central executive in memory

• The integration of sensory memory

Schemas are best described as:

• Temporary memory stores

• Fixed sequences of actions

• Mental frameworks for organizing information

• Neural connections in the brain

Which of the following is a potential consequence of schema activation in memory recall?

• Improved recall of all details

• Memory distortion

• Decreased processing speed

• Random access to memories

According to schema theory, new information is:

• Stored without reference to existing knowledge

• Processed independently of prior knowledge

• Interpreted based on existing schemas

• Always stored in long-term memory

Which study is commonly associated with schema theory?

• Milgram's obedience study

• Bartlett's 'War of the Ghosts'

• Bandura's Bobo doll experiment

• Harlow's monkey experiments

Schemas can influence perception by:

• Reducing cognitive load

• Enhancing sensory input

• Filling in gaps in information

• Slowing down processing speed
