8. Which verb gave the highest speed estimate in Loftus and Palmer's study?

  • Smashed
  • Contacted
  • Bumped
  • Collided

9. What is the duration and capacity of Sensory Memory?

  • Duration is under 2 secs and Capacity is very limited
  • Duration is around 18 secs and Capacity is 7 ± 2 items
  • Duration and Capacity is unlimited

10. What is the purpose of the Visuo-Spatial Sketchpad?

  • It stores and processes information in a visual or spatial form
  • It deals with spoken and written material
  • To bind together all the information from the other components
  • It controls attention and coordinates the actions of the other components

11. What two types of rehearsal are required in the MSM?

  • Maintenance & Elaborative
  • Sensory & Long-Term

12. What is the duration and capacity of Short-Term Memory?

  • Duration is around 18 secs and Capacity is 7 ± 2 items
  • Duration and Capacity is unlimited
  • Duration is under 2 secs and Capacity is very limited

  • Acoustically
  • Structurally
  • Semantically
  • Phonetically

15. What is the purpose of the Central Executive?

  • It controls attention and coordinates the actions of the other components
  • It stores and processes information in a visual or spatial form
  • To bind together all the information from the other components
  • It deals with spoken and written material

18. What is the purpose of the Phonological Loop?

  • It deals with spoken and written material
  • It controls attention and coordinates the actions of the other components
  • It stores and processes information in a visual or spatial form
  • To bind together all the information from the other components

19. What is the purpose of the Episodic Buffer?

  • To bind together all the information from the other components
  • It stores and processes information in a visual or spatial form
