Exploring Baddeley and Hitch's Model

Which of the following is a component of the Working Memory Model proposed by Baddeley and Hitch?

• Long-term Memory

• Central Executive

• Episodic Buffer

• Sensory Memory

What is the primary function of the Central Executive in the Working Memory Model?

• Storing visual and spatial information

• Processing auditory information

• Coordinating and controlling attention

• Storing long-term memories

Which component of the Working Memory Model is responsible for processing verbal and auditory information?

• Visuospatial Sketchpad

• Episodic Buffer

• Phonological Loop

• Central Executive

What is the role of the Visuospatial Sketchpad in the Working Memory Model?

• To process and store verbal information

• To integrate information from different sources

• To process and store visual and spatial information

• To control attention and decision-making

Which of the following best describes the capacity of working memory according to Baddeley and Hitch?

• Unlimited

• Approximately 7 ± 2 items

• Approximately 20 items

• Approximately 15 items

The Phonological Loop is divided into two subcomponents. What are they?

• Visual Cache and Inner Scribe

• Phonological Store and Articulatory Control Process

• Episodic Buffer and Central Executive

• Inner Ear and Outer Ear

Which component of the Working Memory Model is responsible for integrating information from different sources?

• Central Executive

• Phonological Loop

• Episodic Buffer

• Visuospatial Sketchpad

How does the Central Executive manage tasks in the Working Memory Model?

• By storing information for long periods

• By processing visual information only

• By allocating resources and switching attention

• By storing auditory information only

What is the primary limitation of the Phonological Loop?

• It can only process visual information

• It has a limited capacity for verbal information

• It cannot integrate information from different sources

• It can only process spatial information

In the context of the Working Memory Model, what does the term "chunking" refer to?

• The process of dividing tasks into smaller parts

• The method of integrating information from different sources

• The strategy of grouping information to increase memory capacity

• The technique of visualising information to enhance recall
