In Baddeley, Thomson, & Buchanan’s (1975) study, what was their main finding?
Participant’s ability to reproduce a sequence of words was BETTER with short words than long words
1 of 19
What was the aim of Baddeley, Thomson, & Buchanan’s (1975) study?
To find out the existence of the phonological loop (inner voice)
2 of 19
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
3 of 19
Baddeley revised the Working Memory Model in 1986. What did he change?
Drew a distinction between phonological store (speech based) & an articulatory control process
4 of 19
For her experiment, Amy is using a method where participants have to repeatedly count numbers during the retention period of a memory test. What task is she using?
Articulatory suppression task

Alice is revising for an exam. She has rap music in the background & found that the music goes straight into her phonological store rather than her revision notes. What is this an example of?
Irrelevant speech effect
6 of 19
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?
Word length effect
7 of 19
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?
Phonological similarity

According to the Working Memory Model, which component is referred to as the “inner eye” and deals with visual & spatial information?
Visuospatial sketchpad
9 of 19
In Quinn & McConnell’s (1996) study, Ps had to learn a list of words using either visual imagery/rote rehearsal. There were 3 conditions – which condition affected the visual imagery task?
Task performed w/ a moving display of dots
10 of 19
Which psychologist argued that visuo-spatial memory can be broken into two components?
Robert Logie
11 of 19
Logie (1995) argued that visuo-spatial memory can be broken into two components. Which component stores information about visual form & colour?
Visual cache
12 of 19
According to Logie (1995), The visual cache & inner scribe are two subcomponents of:
Visuospatial sketchpad
13 of 19
Which study provided evidence for the visuo-spatial sketchpad?
Quinn & McConnel (1996)
14 of 19
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
15 of 19
Evidence seems to favour the notion of separate visual & spatial systems. In Smith & Jonide’s (1997) study, which regions were active during the visual task?
Regions in the left hemisphere
16 of 19
Based on Baddeley’s revision in 2000, what was the last component of the Working Memory Model?
Episodic buffer
17 of 19
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
18 of 19
Which model appears to account MORE for deficits in brain damaged patients?
Working memory model
