Working Memory

Question 1

Baddeley’s Working Memory Model

Answer 1

Phonological Loop - Central Executive - Visuospatial Sketchpad

Question 2

Phonological Loop

Answer 2

contains phonological store and articulatory rehearsal process

Question 3

Phonological Store

Answer 3

Holds information for seconds; limited capacity

Question 4

Articulatory Rehearsal Process

Answer 4

Responsible for rehearsal that keeps phonological store from decaying

Question 5

Articulatory Supression

Answer 5

reduces memory during repetition of irrelevant sounds because speaking interferes with rehearsal; eliminates the phonological similarity and word length effect

Question 6

Visuospatial Sketchpad

Answer 6

creation of visual images in the mind during the absence of a physical stimulus

Question 7

Central Executive

Answer 7

attention controller; determines how/where attention is focused/divided/switched

Question 8

Preservation

Answer 8

repeatedly performing the same action, even if it is not producing the desired goal

Question 9

Revised Baddeley’s Working Memory Model

Answer 9

Contains Episodic buffer

Question 10

Episodic Buffer

Answer 10

Can store information and is connected to the long term memory

Question 11

Area Associated with Working Memory

Answer 11

Prefrontal Cortex
