Central Executive
What type of mental activity is the central executive most responsible for?
What is attention and control of cognitive processes?
What type of information does the visuospatial sketchpad process?
What is visual and spatial information?
What type of information does the phonological loop process?
What is verbal and auditory information?
What type of information is stored in long-term memory?
What is information about past experiences, facts, and knowledge?
What is one main role of the episodic buffer in working memory?
What is that it combines information from different sources into one meaningful experience?
How does the central executive differ from the other components?
What is it doesn't store information; it directs attention?
Why is it difficult to do two visual tasks at the same time?
What is visual tasks compete for the same limited visual-spatial resources.
Area's of the brain associated with Phonological loop
What is the frontal lobe and left brain?
Why does long-term memory help reduce overload in working memory?
What is because stored knowledge can be used instead of holding everything in mind at once?
How does the episodic buffer help you understand a story or conversation?
What is that it links sounds, images, and past knowledge into a single episode?
What is one role of the central executive in multitasking?
What is divides attention between multiple tasks?
How is the visuospatial sketchpad used when navigating a new place?
What is it helps maintain a mental image of locations and spatial relationships.
Why are short, distinct words easier to remember than long or similar-sounding words?
What is because they are quicker to repeat and less likely to be confused?
Why is long-term memory not easily overloaded like working memory?
What is because it can store a large amount of information over time?
Why is the episodic buffer important for connecting working memory and long-term memory?
What is because it allows current information to be combined with stored knowledge?
Why does performance decline when too many tasks are done at once?
What is limited capacity to control attention?
What happens when too much visual information is held at once?
What is visual details become harder to represent accurately.
What happens to memory when people are prevented from repeating words to themselves?
What is that verbal information is forgotten more quickly?
A student solves math problems faster after lots of practice because they no longer need to think through every step. How is long-term memory helping in this situation?
What is by storing practiced information so working memory is less overloaded?
What problem would occur if information could not be combined into a single episode?
What is that experiences would feel fragmented and harder to understand?
Area of the brain associated with the Central Executive
What is the frontal portion of the cortex?
Area of the brain associated with Visuospatial Sketchpad
What is the right hemisphere of the cortex and Occipital region?
Why are long words and similar-sounding words harder to remember?
What is because they take longer to repeat in your mind and are easier to mix up with each other?
Which part of the brain is strongly associated with forming and storing long-term memories?
What is the hippocampus?
In what year did Baddeley add the episodic buffer to the working memory model, and why was it added?
What is around 2000, because the original model could not explain how different types of information were combined into one experience?
