Quiz on the Working Memory Model

Who were the first to challenge the view that short-term memory (STM) is a single store?

• Atkinson and Shiffrin

• Baddeley and Hitch

• Warrington and Shallice

• Cowan and Doolittle

What technique did Baddeley and Hitch use to demonstrate the existence of different stores in working memory?

• Case study

• Longitudinal study

• Single-task technique

• Dual-task technique

What is the primary function of the central executive in the working memory model?

• To process sensory memory

• To store visual information

• To control attention and coordinate tasks

• To rehearse verbal information

Which component of working memory is responsible for auditory processing?

• Visuospatial sketchpad

• Episodic buffer

• Phonological loop

• Central executive

What does the phonological loop consist of?

• Articulatory control system and phonological store

• Episodic buffer and central executive

• Sensory memory and long-term memory

• Visual store and spatial store

What was the aim of the Landry and Bartling (2011) experiment?

• To test the capacity of the central executive

• To analyze the role of long-term memory

• To investigate the effect of articulatory suppression on recall

• To compare visual and auditory memory

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

• To rehearse verbal information

• To control attention

• To integrate information from different sources

• To hold visual information only

Which patient showed impairment in verbal short-term memory but intact long-term memory?

• Patient KF

• Patient PV

• Patient LH

• Patient SC

What is one limitation of the working memory model?

• It includes sensory memory in detail

• It has been proven to be completely accurate

• It does not account for the role of emotion in memory

• It explains long-term memory processes well

What does the visuospatial sketchpad help us remember?

• Long-term memories

• Verbal information

• Visual patterns and spatial movements

• Auditory sequences
