Explanation

Question 14 of 29

1

What are strengths of the multi-store model?

Select one or more of the following:

  • The model can account for primacy & recency effects.

  • Applies to real life tasks: reading (phonological loop), problem solving (central executive), navigation (visual and spatial processing)

  • The model is influential as it has generated a lot of research into memory.

  • The model makes sense of a range of tasks - verbal reasoning, comprehension, reading, problem solving and visual and spatial processing.

  • The model is supported by studies of amnesiacs: For example the HM case study.

  • Supported by dual task studies.

  • Does not over emphasize the importance of rehearsal for STM retention

Explanation

Question 15 of 29

1

What are weaknesses of the multi-store model?

Select one or more of the following:

  • The model is oversimplified, both short-term and long-term memory are more complicated that previously thought.

  • There is little direct evidence for how the central executive works and what it does. The capacity of the central executive has never been measured.

  • The model suggests rehearsal helps to transfer information into LTM but this is not essential.

  • Does not explain changes in processing ability that occur as the result of practice or time.

  • The models main emphasis was on structure and tends to neglect the process elements of memory (e.g. it only focuses on attention and rehearsal).

Explanation

Question 16 of 29

1

Who invented the working memory model?

Select one of the following:

  • Baddeley and Hitch

  • Atkinson and Shiffrin

Explanation

Question 17 of 29

1

What does the working memory model say?

Select one of the following:

  • Instead of all information going into one single store, there are different systems for different types of information.

  • Memory is made up of a series of stores.

Explanation

Question 18 of 29

1

What is the Central Executive?

Select one of the following:

  • Drives the whole system and allocates data to the subsystems. It also deals with cognitive tasks such as mental arithmetic and problem solving.

  • Part of working memory that deals with spoken and written material. It can be used to remember a phone number. It consists of two parts

  • Stores and processes information in a visual or spatial form.
