Question 6 of 12

1

What is the function of the visuo-spatial sketchpad? (Tick all possible answers)

Select one or more of the following:

  • Dealing with auditory information

  • Temporary system for holding visual and spatial information

  • Integrates information from all other components

  • Direct attention to particular tasks

  • Monitors incoming information

Explanation

Question 7 of 12

1

The phonological loop has a limited capacity

Select one of the following:

  • True
  • False

Explanation

Question 8 of 12

1

What is the function of the phonological store?

Select one of the following:

  • Holds the words you hear and preserves the order of information

  • Holds what you hear and see; is a form of maintenance rehearsal

Explanation

Question 9 of 12

Select one of the following:

  • True
  • False

Explanation

Question 10 of 12

1

The multi-store model is more complicated and harder to apply than the working memory model

Select one of the following:

  • True
  • False

Explanation

Question 11 of 12

1

The working memory model doesn't say how we get information from STM to LTM

Select one of the following:

  • True
  • False

Explanation

Question 12 of 12

1

What is the function of the episodic buffer? (Tick all possible answers)

Select one or more of the following:

  • Acts as a general store

  • Holds information that relates to both and acoustic information

  • Extra storage system with limited capacity

  • Integrates information from all other components

  • Deal with processing and temporary storage of specific types of information

  • Deals with auditory information and deals with the order of information

  • Directs attention to particular tasks
