MEM - 3 - Working Memory Model - part 2 (PQ)

What is the main case study that supports the Working Memory Model?

• Case study of Patient HM

• Case study of Patient KF

• Case study of Patient JW

• Case study of Patient LM

What is the main issue with the Working Memory Model?

• It only focuses on LTM

• It only focuses on sensory memory

• It only focuses on STM

• It only focuses on procedural memory

What is the main limitation of the Working Memory Model?

• It does not explain the link between LTM and sensory memory

• It does not explain the link between STM and LTM

• It does not explain the link between LTM and procedural memory

• It does not explain the link between STM and sensory memory

What is the main function of the central executive in the Working Memory Model?

• Temporary storage of visual information

• Processing information from LTM

• Supervisory function and controls the two slave systems

• Temporary storage of verbal information

What is the main component of the Working Memory Model for visual information?

• Phonological loop

• Episodic buffer

• Central executive

• Visuo-spatial sketchpad

What is the main component of the Working Memory Model for acoustic information?

• Episodic buffer

• Visuo-spatial sketchpad

• Central executive

• Phonological loop

What is the main finding of dual-task studies in relation to the Working Memory Model?

• Participants perform better when both tasks require the phonological loop

• Participants perform better when one task requires the phonological loop and the other requires the visuo-spatial sketchpad

• Participants perform better when both tasks require the visuo-spatial sketchpad

• Participants perform better when one task requires the phonological loop and the other requires the central executive

What is the main issue with research examining the Working Memory Model?

• It relies on isolated variables operationalized in laboratory experiments

• It lacks experimental reductionism

• It does not generate universal laws regarding how STM processes information

• It does not use a nomothetic approach

What is the main strength of the Working Memory Model?

• It provides a detailed description of sensory memory

• It provides a detailed description of STM

• It provides a detailed description of LTM

• It fully explains the link between STM and LTM

What is the main limitation of the Working Memory Model?

• It only focuses on procedural memory

• It only focuses on STM

• It only focuses on sensory memory

• It only focuses on LTM
