  6. 6Parts of working memory:

    [blank_start]Phonological Loop:[blank_end]
    Means hearing. The auditory working memory. It is the storage of what we hear. It helps us understand a sentence of more than a few words.

    [blank_start]Visuospatial Sketchpad:[blank_end]
    The visual short-term memory, the storage of what we see. This is the store we use to help us picture what a room would look like if we made changes.

    [blank_start]Central Executive:[blank_end]
    Puts together the sounds and vision of working memory and controls our attention, which enables us to perform mental manipulation of data. 3 main functions.

    [blank_start]Episodic Buffer:[blank_end] Helps retrieve information from the LTM to associate with information that is in working memory and to select and encode information into LTM
    1. APhonological Loop:
    2. BVisuospatial Sketchpad:
    3. CCentral Executive:
    4. DEpisodic Buffer:
  7. 73 main types of central executive:

    [blank_start]Inhibition[blank_end]: an aspect of attention, screening out irrelevant material.

    [blank_start]Switching[blank_end]: changing attention from one item to another

    [blank_start]Updating[blank_end]: modifying items brought in from LTM before recommitting them to memory through the episodic buffer.
    1. AInhibition
    2. BSwitching
    3. CUpdating
  8. 8As long as the memory we are using comes from different stores, people can multi task.
    1. ATrue
    2. BFalse
  9. 9People who perform better on working memory tend to show better results in [blank_start]reading comprehension,[blank_end] [blank_start]intelligence[blank_end] tests and [blank_start]understanding other's point of view[blank_end]
    1. Areading comprehension,
    2. Bunderstanding other's point of view
    3. Cproblem solving
    4. Daptitude
    5. EBehaviour management
