Exploring the Working Memory Model

What is the primary function of the central executive in the working memory model?

• To store visual and spatial information

• To allocate attention and coordinate tasks

• To store verbal information

• To process sensory input

Which component of the working memory model is responsible for processing auditory information?

• Visuospatial sketchpad

• Episodic buffer

• Phonological loop

• Central executive

The visuospatial sketchpad is primarily involved in which type of memory processing?

• Auditory

• Visual and spatial

• Semantic

• Procedural

Who proposed the working memory model?

• Sigmund Freud

• B.F. Skinner

• Alan Baddeley and Graham Hitch

• Jean Piaget

What is the role of the episodic buffer in the working memory model?

• To store long-term memories

• To integrate information from different sources

• To process sensory input

• To manage attention

Which component of the working memory model is most associated with language processing?

• Central executive

• Phonological loop

• Visuospatial sketchpad

• Episodic buffer

In the working memory model, which component is responsible for temporary storage and manipulation of visual and spatial information?

• Phonological loop

• Central executive

• Visuospatial sketchpad

• Episodic buffer

How does the central executive differ from the other components of the working memory model?

• It has a limited capacity

• It processes only visual information

• It does not store information

• It is responsible for long-term memory

Which of the following is NOT a component of the working memory model?

• Central executive

• Long-term memory

• Phonological loop

• Visuospatial sketchpad

What is the primary limitation of the working memory model?

• It cannot explain the role of long-term memory

• It does not account for the integration of information

• It lacks empirical support

• It oversimplifies the complexity of memory processes
