Memory Models: Key Concepts

What is the multi-store model of memory?

• The multi-store model includes only short-term and long-term memory.

• The multi-store model is based on emotional and procedural memory.

• The multi-store model consists of visual memory, auditory memory, and tactile memory.

• The multi-store model of memory consists of sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory.

Name the three main components of the multi-store model.

• working memory, episodic memory, procedural memory

• short-term storage, long-term storage, immediate memory

• visual memory, auditory memory, tactile memory

• sensory memory, short-term memory, long-term memory

What role does sensory memory play in the multi-store model?

• Sensory memory stores information indefinitely for later retrieval.

• Sensory memory processes information only after it has been stored in short-term memory.

• Sensory memory briefly holds sensory information for initial processing before it moves to short-term memory.

• Sensory memory is responsible for long-term storage of memories.

Define short-term memory in the context of the multi-store model.

• Short-term memory is the ability to recall information after a long duration.

• Short-term memory is the process of retrieving information from long-term storage.

• Short-term memory is the permanent storage of information with unlimited capacity.

• Short-term memory is the temporary storage of information for a brief period, with limited capacity, in the multi-store model.

What is the capacity of short-term memory according to Miller's law?

• 5 items

• 10 plus or minus 3 items

• 7 plus or minus 2 items

• 3 to 4 items

Describe the function of long-term memory in the multi-store model.

• Long-term memory only stores information for a few minutes.

• Long-term memory is used exclusively for short-term tasks.

• Long-term memory stores information for extended periods, allowing for recall of past experiences and knowledge.

• Long-term memory is responsible for processing sensory information.

What is the working memory model proposed by Baddeley and Hitch?

• The working memory model is based solely on visual processing.

• The working memory model includes the central executive, phonological loop, visuospatial sketchpad, and episodic buffer.

• The model includes sensory memory, long-term memory, and retrieval processes.

• The working memory model consists of short-term and long-term memory only.

Identify the components of the working memory model.

• Central executive, phonological loop, visuospatial sketchpad, episodic buffer

• Visual memory, auditory memory, tactile memory, semantic buffer

• Attention, encoding, storage, retrieval

• Short-term memory, long-term memory, sensory memory, retrieval buffer

How does the central executive function in the working memory model?

• The central executive functions as the control system that directs attention and coordinates information processing in working memory.

• The central executive is responsible for sensory perception and input.

• The central executive manages emotional responses and motivations.

• The central executive stores long-term memories for later retrieval.

What is the difference between the phonological loop and the visuospatial sketchpad in the working memory model?

• The phonological loop is responsible for processing visual images; the visuospatial sketchpad handles sounds.

• The phonological loop and visuospatial sketchpad both process auditory information equally.

• The phonological loop processes verbal/auditory information; the visuospatial sketchpad processes visual/spatial information.

• The phonological loop is used for long-term memory storage; the visuospatial sketchpad is for short-term memory.
