  1. 1Patient KF was in an accident and had a digit span of 1. His paired associate learning with a 24 hour delay was normal. What does this say about working memories relationship with long term memory?
    1. ALong term memory is dependant on short term memory.
    2. BWorking memory cannot be considered the 'gateway' into long term memory.
    3. CVerbal IQ and performance IQ are unrelated to memory.
    4. DLong term memory and working memory can be considered the same thing.
  2. 2What are the main components of Baddeley and Hitchs' working memory model?
    1. ACentral Executive
    2. BPhonological Loop
    3. CVisuo-spatial Sketchpad
    4. DEpisodic Buffer
    5. EAttentional Control System
    6. FExecutive Function
    7. GVisual Loop
    8. HArticulatory control process
  3. 3Conrad (1964) came to the conclusion that short-term memory uses a phonological code. What led him to this conclusion?
    1. AErrors in serial recall were acoustic in nature.
    2. BErrors in serial recall weren't related to their acoustic properties.
    3. CSpatial interference reduced performance on memory tasks.
    4. DFrom our experience with replaying words in our minds to remember them.
  4. 4Considering our use of a phonological loop for rehearsal, what predictions can be made about remembering lists of either long words or shorter words?
    1. AThere will be more success in remembering a list of shorter words due to ease of rehearsal in the phonological loop.
    2. BThe list of longer words will be easier to remember because of the words distinctiveness.
    3. CBoth lists will be remembered as well as each other due to primacy and recency effects.
    4. DThe list with longer words will be harder to remember due to varying levels of vocabulary ability within a sample.
  5. 5Articulatory suppression eliminates phonological similarity and word length effects for visually presented stimuli but not stimuli presented auditorily. Why is this the case?
    1. AAuditory stimuli proceed directly to the phonological store.
    2. BAuditory stimuli proceed to the phonological loop via the articulatory control process.
    3. CVisual information goes directly into the phonological store.
    4. DVisual information is not related to the phonological loop.
  6. 6What are the likely outcomes for each task when visual interference is applied?
    1. ASpatial task = success
      Visual task = fail
    2. BSpatial task = fail
      Visual task = fail
    3. CSpatial task = success
      Visual task = success
    4. DSpatial task = fail
      Visual task = success
  7. 7Contention scheduling prioritizes action schemas based on...
    1. ARelatedness to current goals.
    2. BSchemas that have been used the most.
    3. CRandom chance.
    4. DDirections from executive control systems.
