To store visual and spatial information
To allocate resources and attention to other components and decision making too.

In research methods, what is the purpose of randomisation?
To ensure that the experiment is conducted in a standardised manner
To eliminate demand characteristics
To reduce bias by randomly assigning participants to different groups
To repeat the experiment multiple times
What does the visuo-spatial sketchpad primarily deal with?
Auditory information
Visual and spatial information
Episodic memories
Semantic memories
Which of the following is a characteristic of an independent groups design?
The same participants are used in all conditions
Different participants are used in each condition
Participants are matched on certain characteristics
Participants are aware of the research aims
What is the role of the episodic buffer in the working memory model?
To store visual information
To integrate information from different sources into a single, coherent episode
To control the flow of information to the long-term memory
To repeat verbal information
Which of the following best describes 'locus of control'?
The degree to which individuals believe they have control over events in their lives
The support received from social networks
The influence of peers on decision-making
The ability to control one's emotions
What is the main purpose of standardisation in research?
To ensure that all participants are treated differently
To ensure that procedures are consistent across all participants
To increase the variability of results
To allow participants to choose their own conditions
Which component of the visuo-spatial sketchpad is responsible for storing visual data?
Inner scribe
Visual cache
Phonological store
Articulatory loop
What are demand characteristics in the context of psychological research?
Features of an experiment that cause participants to behave in a certain way
The characteristics of the researcher
The physical environment where the research takes place
The statistical methods used to analyse data
Which of the following is a feature of repeated measures design?
Different participants are used in each condition
The same participants take part in all conditions
Participants are randomly assigned to conditions
Participants are unaware of the research aims
What is the articulatory loop responsible for in the working memory model?
Storing visual information
Rehearsing verbal information to keep it in working memory
Integrating information from different sources
Storing spatial information
How does social support influence behaviour?
It increases the likelihood of conforming as people want to be like the majority
It leads to competition
Fellow dissenters acts as models to show others that resistance is possible
It has no impact on behaviour
What is the primary function of the inner scribe in the visuo-spatial sketchpad?
To store verbal information
To rehearse and refresh visual and spatial information
To integrate information from different sources
To store episodic memories
