1What is the Working Memory Model (WMM)?
A model of short-term memory (STM) proposed by Baddeley and Aitch (1974) to explain how information is temporarily stored and manipulated.- ATrue
- BFalse
2. What is the Central Executive?
- A-Oversees and coordinates the activities of the slave systems
-Allocates capacity and resources to slave systems. - B-Oversees and coordinates the activities of the slave systems
-Allocates attention and resources to tasks.
- A-Oversees and coordinates the activities of the slave systems
3What is the capacity of the Central Executive System?
- AUnlimited.
- BVery large.
- CVery limited.
- DUnknown.
4What is the coding of the Central Executive?
- ALimited-Modality (processes information from any sensory modality).
- BModality-free (processes information from any sensory modality).
- CModality-free (processes information from any sensory distinctivity).
5 What is the Phonological Loop?
- AProcesses and stores senitory (sound-based) information.
- BProcesses and stores auditory (sound-based) information.
6what are the sub-components of the Phonological Loop?
- APhonological Store ("inner ear")
Articulatory Control Process ("inner voice") - BPhonological Store ("vinner ear")
Articulatory Control Process ("inner voice")
- APhonological Store ("inner ear")
7What is the Phonological Store ("inner ear"): ?
- AStores spoken words for 12 seconds.
- BStores spoken words for 1-2 seconds.
- CStores spoken words for 1-8 seconds.
8What is the Articulatory Control Process ("inner voice"): ?
- ARehearses and refreshes visual information, converting written words into sounds.
- BRehearses and refreshes verbal information, converting written words into sounds.
9What is the coding for Phonological Loop?
- AAcoustic (sound-based).
- Bvisual (semantic-based).
10What is the capacity for Phonological Loop?
- Aunlimited; no number of seconds’ worth of spoken information.
- BLimited; 2 seconds’ worth of spoken information.
- CLimited; 8 seconds’ worth of spoken information.
11What is the Visuo-Spatial Sketchpad (VSS)?
- AProcesses and stores visual and sound information (e.g., images and layouts).
- BProcesses and stores visual and spatial information (e.g., images and layouts).
12What are the sub-components of the Visuo-Spatial Sketchpad (VSS)?
- AVisual Cache: Stores visual data like form and color.
Inner Scribe: Handles spatial relationships and movement. - BVisual Cache: Stores visual data like form and color.
Inner Skibe: Handles spatial relationships and movement.
- AVisual Cache: Stores visual data like form and color.
13What is the coding for the Visuo-Spatial Sketchpad (VSS)?
- AVisual and spatial.
- BVisual and spentatic.
14What is the capacity of the Visuo-Spatial Sketchpad (VSS)?
- ALimited to about 5-6 objects.
- BLimited to about 7-9 objects.
- CLimited to about 3-4 objects.
15 What is the Episodic Buffer?
- AIntegrates information from the Phonological Loop, Visuo-Spatial Sketchpad, and LTM into a coherent sequence.
Links working memory to long-term memory (LTM). - BIntegrates information from the ,Central Executive,Phonological Loop, Visuo-Spatial Sketchpad, and LTM into a coherent sequence.
Links working memory to long-term memory (LTM).
- AIntegrates information from the Phonological Loop, Visuo-Spatial Sketchpad, and LTM into a coherent sequence.
16What is the coding for the Episodic Buffer?
- AModality-free (can process multiple types of information).
- BModality-free (can process limited types of information).
17What is the capacity of the Episodic Buffer?
- ALimited to about 5 chunks.
- BLimited to about 7 chunks.
- CLimited to about 4 chunks.
18What evidence supports the WMM?
- ADouble-Task Studies (Baddeley & Hitch, 1989):
- BDual-Task Studies (Baddeley & Hitch, 1976):
- CDual-Task Studies (Baddeley & Aitch, 1976):
19 How does the WMM differ from the Multi-Store Model?
- AThe WMM focuses on STM as an active processor, not just a temporary store.
- BThe WMM focuses on STM as an active processor, not just a temporary store.
Explains tasks like reasoning, comprehension, and problem-solving better than the MSM. - CExplains tasks like reasoning, comprehension, and problem-solving better than the MSM.
20Why is the Central Executive important?
- AIt determines the allocation of attention and prioritizes tasks, making it the most critical yet least understood component of the WMM.
- BIt determines the allocation of attention and prioritizes tasks, making it the most critical yet most understood component of the WMM.
21 What is the limitation of the Central Executive?
- AIts exact capacity and functioning are not well-defined, making it difficult to study empirically.
- BIts exact capacity and functioning are not well-defined, making it easy to study empirically.
