6. Patricia has damage to her frontal lobe. She has problems maintaining attention, impaired memory & difficulties with language. What is the term for this?
Dysexecutive syndrome
Encephalitis
Epilepsy
Executive function disorder
7. The phonological loop is used to explain 4 basic findings. Which of the following is NOT one of them?
Irrelevant speech effect
Phonological parameters effect
Articulatory suppression
Phonological similarity
Word length effect
8. According to Logie (1995), The visual cache & inner scribe are two subcomponents of:
Episodic buffer
Visuospatial sketchpad
Phonological loop
Central executive
9. Naomi finds it easier to remember a list of short words than longer ones. This is because she can pronounce more shorter words in the 2 sec duration. What is this an example of?
Phonological similarity
Word length effect
Articulatory suppression
Irrelevant speech effect
10. Which component of working memory is the STM for speech-based information?
Visual cache
Visuo-spatial sketchpad
Phonological loop
Central executive
11. Which component of the working memory model is linked to speech production & gives access to the phonological store?
Articulatory control process
Inner scribe
Central executive
Visual cache
12. Based on Baddeley’s revision in 2000, what was the last component of the Working Memory Model?
Episodic buffer
Visuospatial sketchpad
Phonological loop
Central executive
13. Evidence seems to favour the notion of separate visual & spatial systems. In Smith & Jonide’s (1997) study, which regions were active during the spatial task?
Regions in the right hemisphere
Regions in the left hemisphere
14. Baddeley revised the Working Memory Model in 1986. What did he change?
Added the visuo-spatial sketchpad
Created two components of the visuo-spatial sketchpad
Drew a distinction between phonological store (speech based) & an articulatory control process
Added the episodic buffer
15. In her memory study, Lizzie found if one set of words takes less time to pronounce than another set, participant’s memory will be better for the shorter items. What does this demonstrate?
Word length effect
Articulatory suppression effect
Phonological parameter measure
Semantic parameter measure
16. In Smith & Jonides (1997) study, which part of the brain had heightened activity when the articulatory process was being used?
Temporal lobe
Frontal lobe
Broca's area
Parietal lobe
17. What was the aim of Baddeley, Thomson, & Buchanan’s (1975) study?
To find out the existence of the phonological loop (inner voice)
To find out the cause of irrelevant speech effect
To find out the existence of the visuo-spatial sketchpad
To find out the cause of articulatory suppression
18. According to the Working Memory Model, which component is referred to as the “inner eye” and deals with visual & spatial information?
Phonological loop
Visuospatial sketchpad
Central executive
Spatial storage system
19. Claire’s daughter Bea is learning to read. Which part of the working memory model will she be using?
Visuo-spatial sketchpad
Phonological store
Articulatory control process
Central executive
20. Conrad (1964) found when people are asked to recall a list of items, their performance is usually worse when the items sound similar than when the items sound different. What is this an example of?
