Working Memory Model Quiz

What is the primary focus of the working memory model discussed in the video?

• Long-term memory processing

• Short-term memory store

• Auditory and visual information processing

• Sensory register

Who were the researchers that criticized the short-term memory store?

• Baddeley and Logie

• Baddeley and Hitch

• Shallice and Warrington

• Cowan and Prabhakaran

Which component of the working memory model is described as the "head" of the model?

• Phonological loop

• Visuo-spatial sketchpad

• Central executive

• Episodic buffer

The phonological loop is responsible for processing which type of information?

• Visual information

• Auditory information

• Spatial information

• Emotional information

According to the video, what is the capacity of the phonological loop?

• 2 items

• 4 items

• What can be said in two seconds

• Unlimited

What is the role of the episodic buffer in the working memory model?

• To store visual information

• To integrate and store information from different types

• To handle auditory information only

• To function as a passive store

Which of the following statements is true regarding the visuo-spatial sketchpad?

• It processes only auditory information.

• It has an unlimited capacity.

• It is described as an inner eye.

• It is controlled by the episodic buffer.

What evidence did Baddeley provide to support the capacity of the phonological loop?

• Participants could remember longer words better.

• Participants could remember more monosyllabic words than longer ones.

• Participants had no issues with visual tasks.

• Participants performed better with dual tasks.

Which criticism was mentioned regarding the central executive?

• It is too accurately defined.

• It is not an operationalised concept.

• It lacks any functionality.

• It processes auditory information.

What is a concern regarding the external validity of the working memory model studies?

• They have low internal validity.

• They are too generalizable.

• They lack mundane realism.

• They do not use laboratory settings.
