This part of the working memory model handles auditory information, holding and repeating verbal information.
What is phonological loop?
100
Initiation, planning, hypothesis generation, cognitive flexibility, decision making, regulation, judgment, feedback utilization and self perception are all considered components of this.
What is executive function?
100
This task measures switching.
What is the plus-minus switching task?
100
This buffer in working memory handles speech information.
What is auditory buffer?
100
Working memory has these two functions.
What is short term retention of information and manipulation of information?
What is Baddely's Multicomponent Model of Working Memory?
200
There is a "gold standard" for assessing executive function. (T or F)
What is true?
200
This task measures updating.
What is the digit monitoring task?
200
This type of test measures working memory for verbal information.
What is verbal span test?
200
This characteristic of information processing most affects language and communication.
What is speed?
300
A temporary storage mechanism that buffers visual information.
What is the visuospatial sketch pad?
300
This is the executive ability to activate alternative rules.
What is shifting?
300
This task measures time-sharing.
What is the counting backwards plus connections task?
300
This type of buffer handles visuospatial information.
What is visual buffer?
300
This appears to affect age-related changes in language processing.
What is distraction?
400
A temporary storage mechanism that buffers auditory information.
What is the phonological loop?
400
This is the executive ability to maintain and track rule changes in working memory.
What is updating?
400
This task measures inhibition.
What is the Stroop task?
400
This is measured by the visuospatial span test.
What is working memory for visual information?
400
This characterizes a minority of older adults.
What is off-target verbosity?
500
This model involves these components: a visuospatial sketch pad, a phonological loop, a central executive processing mechanism, and an episodic buffer linked to long-term memory.
What is Baddely's model of working memory?
500
These parts of the brain subserve working memory and executive functions.
What are the prefrontal cortex and the substantia nigra?
500
This task measures divided attention.
What is the counting backwards plus connections task?
500
The auditory buffer handles this type of information.
What is speech?
500
This is the theory that language processing in older adults is disrupted by the attentional demands of blocking out or ignoring distractions.
