Total questions: 7
Worksheet time: 4mins
The part of Baddeley & Hitch's Working Memory Model that processes auditory stimuli is called
The central executive
The phonological loop
The visuo-spatial sketchpad
The episodic buffer
What is the key difference between the Multi Store Model and the Working Memory Model?
The Working Memory Model argues that there is more than one LTM store.
The Working Memory Model argues that there is more than one STM store.
The Working Memory Model argues that rehearsal does not move information from STM to LTM.
The Working Memory Model argues that STM is of unlimited capacity and duration.
Which of the following is not a function of the central executive?
It consolidates memory in short term memory and moves it to long-term memory.
Shifting attention from one task to another.
Binding information from a number of sources into coherent "episodes".
Oversees the visual and auditory STM stores
If you are trying to learn a song in Latin for your school choir, when you are practicing those ancient Roman words in your head, what part of the Working Memory Model is being used?
The episodic buffer
The visuo-spatial sketchpad
The phonological loop
The central executive
How does the WMM explain the results of Landry & Bartling's (2011) study of articulatory suppression?
There was the practice effect; the control group improved because of the repetition of the task.
Articulatory suppression interferes with the work of the central executive.
Articulatory suppression disrupts the connection between the phonological loop and the episodic buffer.
Articulatory suppression prevents rehearsal in the phonological loop.
How does Warrington & Shallice's case study of KF support the Working Memory Model?
It showed that there are separate stores for LTM and STM in the brain.
It showed that visual and verbal information is processed in different parts of the brain.
It showed that our brains automatically categorize information by visual or auditory stimuli.
It showed that facial recognition is linked to the visuo-spatial sketchpad.
Which of the following is not a limitation of the Working Memory Model?
The role of the central executive is not clear.
It is not clear how the various components of the model interact to create memory.
The model does not explain memory distortion.
There is a lack of biological support for the model.
