The working memory model was proposed by Atkinson and Shiffrin.
What are the slave systems of the working memory model? (Tick all possible answers)
Central executive
Phonological loop
Visuo-spatial sketchpad
Episodic buffer
STM
LTM
Semantic memory
Maintenance rehearsal
Sensory memory
What is the function of the Central executive? (Tick all possible answers)
Direct attention to particular tasks
Determining how 'resources' are allocated to tasks
Preserve the order of information
Integrates information from other slave systems
To plan spatial tasks
The central executive has no storage capacity
What are the two parts of the visuo-spatial sketchpad?
The inner scribe and the visual cache
The phonological store and the articulatory process
The phonological store and the visual cache
The visual cache and the articulatory process
The inner scribe and the phonological store
The inner scribe and the articultory process
What is the function of the visuo-spatial sketchpad? (Tick all possible answers)
Dealing with auditory information
Temporary system for holding visual and spatial information
Integrates information from all other components
Process information from any sensory modality
Monitors incoming information
The phonological loop has a limited capacity
What is the function of the phonological store?
Holds the words you hear and preserves the order of information
Holds what you hear and see; is a form of maintenance rehearsal
The working memory model gives a better account of STM and identifies that it is not a unitary system
The multi-store model is more complicated and harder to apply than the working memory model
The working memory model doesn't say how we get information from STM to LTM
What is the function of the episodic buffer? (Tick all possible answers)
Acts as a general store
Holds information that relates to both and acoustic information
Extra storage system with limited capacity
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
