Chapter 3 - Working Memory Flashcards
What term was applied by Baddely and Hitch to the component of their model responsible for the temporary storage of speech like information?
Phonological Loop
Which theory proposed by Craik and Lockhart asserts that items that are more deeply processed will be better remembered?
Levels of Processing
What component of the Baddeley and Hitch model that is assumed to be responsible for the temporary maintenance of visual and spatial information?
Visuo-Spatial Sketchpad
What, when processing an item in terms of its meaning, hence relating it to other information in long-term memory?
Semantic Coding
What test whereby participants hear and attempt to repeat back non-words that gradually increase in length?
Non-Word Repetition Test
what component of the Baddeley and Hitch working memory model, which assumes a multidimensional code, allowing the various subcomponents of working memory to interact with long-term memory?
Episodic Buffer
What component of Logie’s model of visual working memory? It forms a counterpart to the phonological store and is maintained by the inner scribe, a counterpart to phonological rehearsal.
Visual Cache
What component of the model proposed by Norman and Shallice accounted for the attentional control of action?
Supervisory Attentional System (SAS)
What is it called when recollection of something that did not happen occurs?
Confabulation
What term is used to refer to the linking of features into objects, or events into coherent episodes?
Binding
What general term is applied to mechanisms that suppress other activities? This term can be applied to a precise physiological mechanism or to a more general phenomenon, as in practive and retroactive inhibition, whereby memory for an item is impaired by competition from earlier or later items.
Inhibition
What is it called when use of limited attentional capacity to maintain two or more simultaneous activities?
Resource Sharing
What process whereby a limited capacity system maintains activity on two or more tasks by switching between them?
Task Switching
What concept was proposed by Ericson and Kintsch to account for the way in which long-term memory can be used as a working memory to maintain complex cognitive activity?
Long-Term Working Memory
What system is involved in temporarily retaining information regarding spatial location?
Spatial Working Memory
