• Visuo-spatial Sketchpad

• Episodic Buffer

What is the function of the Phonological Loop in the Working Memory Model?

• To process visual and spatial information

• To store and manipulate auditory information

• To integrate information from different sources

• To manage long-term memory retrieval

What role does the central executive play in processing information?

• It stores information permanently.

• It filters and processes information from sense organs.

• It only processes visual information.

• It ignores all sensory information.

Which types of information does the central executive process?

• Only visual information

• Only auditory information

• Information in all sensory forms

• Only verbal information

What is the capacity of the central executive in terms of handling information?

• Unlimited capacity

• Limited capacity

• Moderate capacity

• No capacity

How does the central executive manage attention between tasks?

• It ignores all tasks

• It focuses on all tasks equally

• It selectively attends to particular types of information

• It randomly switches tasks
