A-Level Psychology: Memory Quiz

The multi-store model of memory was proposed by:

• Alan Baddeley and Graham Hitch

• Atkinson and Shiffrin

• Endel Tulving

• Frederic Bartlett

The sensory register has:

• Unlimited duration

• Unlimited capacity

• Duration of up to 30 seconds

• Capacity of 7±2 items

The duration of short-term memory is approximately:

• 1–2 seconds

• 18–30 seconds

• 2–3 minutes

• Unlimited

According to George A. Miller, STM capacity is:

• 5±2 items

• 9±2 items

• 7±2 items

• 3±1 items

Coding in long-term memory is mainly:

• Acoustic

• Visual

• Semantic

• Olfactory

The working memory model replaced the STM in the:

• Multi-store model

• Behaviourist model

• Cognitive interview

• Psychodynamic approach

The central executive:

• Stores visual information

• Controls attention and coordinates subsystems

• Stores sound-based information

• Is a passive store

The phonological loop deals with:

• Visual images

• Meaning

• Sound-based information

• Smell

The visuospatial sketchpad is sometimes called the:

• Inner voice

• Inner eye

• Episodic buffer

• Long-term store

The episodic buffer was added later by:

• Frederic Bartlett

• Elizabeth Loftus

• Alan Baddeley

• Hermann Ebbinghaus
