Who proposed the working memory model?
The working memory model was proposed by Baddeley & Hitch (1974).
True or False.
The working memory model is a model of both short-term and long-term memory.
False.
The working memory model is a model of short-term memory only.
It shows that short-term memory can be sub-divided into distinct components and is not a unitary store.
Name the four components of the working memory model.
The four components of the working memory model are the:
central executive
phonological loop
visuo-spatial sketchpad
episodic buffer

The central executive coordinates the three other components of the working memory model by allocating them to different .
The central executive coordinates the three other components of the working memory model by allocating them to different tasks.
Each of the three components directed by the central executive are known as:
a) servant systems
b) sensory systems
c) slave systems
c.
Each of the three components directed by the central executive are known as slave systems.
The phonological loop is responsible for coordinating what sort of information?
a) Auditory
b) Visual
c) Cognitive
The phonological loop is responsible for coordinating auditory information.
True or False.
The articulatory process stores written words and is known as the inner ear.
False.
The articulatory process stores written words and is known as the inner voice; words are repeated on a loop as part of maintenance rehearsal.
The phonological store stores spoken words and is known as the inner ear.
The visuospatial sketchpad is responsible for coordinating what sort of information?
a) Auditory
b) Visual
c) Cognitive
b.
The visuospatial sketchpad is responsible for coordinating visual information.
Which component of the visuospatial sketchpad stores the arrangement of objects within the visual field of view?
a) The visual cache
b) The inner scribe
c) The episodic buffer
b.
The inner scribe stores the arrangement of objects within the visual field of view.
The visual cache stores visual data in the form of shape, colour etc.
What is the function of the episodic buffer?
a) To receive information from the slave systems and integrate this information into 'episodes'
b) To receive information from the slave systems and discard this information
c) To receive information from the slave systems and change this information into a new form
a.
The function of the episodic buffer is to receive information from the slave systems and to integrate this information into 'episodes'.
It forms an important stage in long-term episodic learning.
What type of lab-based studies support the working memory model?
a) Digit span studies
b) Dual task studies
c) Serial position effect studies
b.
Dual-task studies support the working memory model.
When two tasks of the same type (e.g. both visual or both verbal) are carried out they are performed less well than if two tasks of different types are carried out.
One limitation of the working memory model is that the central executive is very difficult to .
One limitation of the working memory model is that the central executive is very difficult to operationalise.
Which of the following statements about the case study of KF is true?
a) KF struggled to process visual information but his ability to recall auditory information was unaffected
b) KF struggled to process auditory information but his ability to recall visual information was unaffected
c) KF struggled to process emotional information but his ability to recall factual information was unaffected
b.
KF struggled to process auditory information but his ability to recall visual information was unaffected.
This is evidence that there are different slave systems in the working memory which code for verbal/auditory information and visual information.
True or False.
Dual-task performance studies are conducted in highly controlled lab conditions, which means that they are high in reliability.
True.
Dual-task performance studies are conducted in highly controlled lab conditions which means that they are high in reliability.
