The model is based on a number of assumptions. First, the model argues that memory consists of a number of separate locations in which information is stored. Second, those memory processes are sequential. Third, that each memory store operates in a single, uniform way. In this model, short-term memory (STM) serves as a gateway by which information can gain access to long-term memory. The various memory stores are seen as components that operate in conjunction with the permanent memory store (LTM) through processes such as attention, coding and rehearsal. You need to pay attention to something in order to remember information. According to this model, rehearsal is vital to keeping material active in STM by repeating it until it can be stored in LTM.

a)

Multi Store Memory Model

b)

Working Memory Model

c)

Schema

14.

Memory related to different senses, such as hearing and vision

a)

Sensory

b)

STM

c)

LTM

d)

recall

15.

Memory assumed to be limited to around seven items (7+/-2) and its duration is normally about 6–12 seconds. Information is quickly lost if not rehearsed.

a)

STM

b)

LTM

c)

Sensory Memory

16.

A vast storehouse of information. This storehouse is believed to be of indefinite duration and of potentially unlimited capacity, although psychologists do not know exactly how much information can be stored there. The material is not an exact replica of events or facts but is stored in some outline form

a)

LTM

b)

STM

c)

Sensory Memory

17.

Ability to recall words at the beginning of the list because they had already been transferred to long-term memory

a)

Primacy Effect

b)

Recency Effect

c)

Memory Effect

d)

Effect of Effects

18.

Ability to recall words that have just been spoken because they are still in short-term memory

a)

Primacy Effect

b)

Recency Effect

c)

You talk too much Effect

d)

Schema Effect

19.

This model suggests that STM is not a single store but rather consists of a number of different stores. Baddeley and Hitch observed in lab experiments that if participants perform two tasks simultaneously that both involve listening, they perform them less well than if they did them separately. They had also noticed that if participants performed two tasks simultaneously that involved listening and vision, there was no problem.

a)

Multi Store Memory Model

b)

Working Memory Model

c)

Memorization of Memories Model

b)

Episodic Buffer

c)

Visuospatial Sketchpad

23.

Temporarily holds several sources of information active at the same time, while you consider what is needed in the present situation. This means - auditory and visual information together, as well as information from LTM., your experience.

a)

Episodic Buffer

b)

Phonological Loop

c)

Visuospatial Sketchpad
