6. There is no dissociation in the brain for verbal vs visuospatial tasks, true or false?

  • False
  • True

7. What is the deepest form of processing (Craik & Lockhart, 1972; Craik & Tulving, 1975)?

  • Phonological
  • Semantic
  • Visual

8. What is the role of sensory memory?

  • A site where higher level processing is done
  • A long term memory store for iconic and echoic memories
  • Acts as a buffer of iconic and echoic items until items are attended to or decay
  • A conscious store of iconic and echoic memories until they are attended to or decay

9. What did Pearson, Logie & Gilhooly (1999) conduct an experiment on?

  • The dependence of verbal memory on spatial memory
  • The independence of the phonological loop and visuospatial sketchpad
  • The independence of visual and spatial memory
  • All of the above

10. Is it true or false that you drop 20% capacity as you increase words to 5 syllables?

  • True
  • False-it is 50%
  • False- it is 40%
  • False- it is 30%

11. What is the maximum dimension of grids that pps can detect change in?

  • 16x16
  • 8x8
  • 12x12
  • 4x4

12. Who conducted an experiment looking at how attention is involved in maintaining the representation during the delay period (VSTM)?

  • Waugh & Norman (1965)
  • Phillips (1974)
  • McCollough, Machizawa & Woodman (2007)
  • Milner (1969)

13. What is the difference between STM and working memory?

  • Working memory allows us to manipulate information for problem solving
  • There is no difference
  • STM correlates with intelligence

14. What brain areas are activated during spatial task (Smith & Jonides, 1997; Smith, Jonides & Koeppe, 1996)?

  • Left cortical area- Broca's area and parietal lobe
  • Left cortical areas- Premotor cortex, dorsolateral PFC and superior parietal lobe
  • Right cortical areas- Premotor cortex, dorsolateral PFC and superior parietal lobe
  • Right cortical areas- Broca's area and parietal lobe

15. Who conducted the study showing that pps can memorise digits and perform a reasoning task without recall suffering?

  • Baddeley & Hitch (1974)
  • Allen, Baddeley & Hitch (2006)
  • Sperling (1960)
  • Wallice & Norman (1977)

16. What brain areas does the phonological loop activate?

  • Broca's area
  • All of the above
  • Frontal areas
  • Left hemisphere

17. Who found that the act of determining the next letter in the list prevents rehearsal which eliminates the recency effect?

  • Haber & Standing (1969)
  • Waugh & Norman (1965)
  • Postman & Phillips (1965)
  • Murdoch (1962)

18. What does recency represent?

  • Sensory memory
  • Forgetting
  • Short term memory
  • Long term memory

  • True
  • False

20. Is attention heavily implicated in maintaining VSTM traces?

  • Yes
  • No
