6. There is no dissociation in the brain for verbal vs visuospatial tasks, true or false?
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?
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
19. Shepard & Metzler (1971) found that not everything is encoded in an auditory format.
20. Is attention heavily implicated in maintaining VSTM traces?
