Dual-Task Trouble
Baddeley's car did this when he tried to visualize football plays while driving on a California freeway.
What is drifted out of its lane?
The age when kids start verbally labeling visual shapes, ruining visuospatial research.
What is 8 years old?
The two types of information the visuospatial sketchpad combines to create a coherent scene.
What are visual appearance and spatial position?
It is the characteristic the visuospatial sketchpad shares with the phonological loop regarding how much it can hold.
What is limited capacity?
The reason a surgeon mentally rehearsing a procedure shouldn't walk through a busy hallway at the same time.
What is both tasks require the visuospatial sketchpad?
What Brandimonte had participants repeat to prevent verbal coding of visual stimuli.
What is "la-la-la"?
This is what you're using when you close your eyes and reach for an object you just looked at.
What is the visuospatial sketchpad?
The two brain lobes activated during visuospatial working memory tasks.
What are the frontal and parietal lobes?
Baddeley had to switch to this type of content on the radio to drive safely after the football incident.
What is music?
This is why there's less research on visuospatial sketchpad compared to phonological loop.
What is lack of standardized visual stimuli (and verbal labeling problems)?
The source of visual information when you picture a scene from a friend's story.
What is verbal description?
What happens to your ability to recover items when too many enter the visuospatial sketchpad.
What is inaccurate representation of items?
Playing a spatial puzzle game on your phone while walking is dangerous for this reason.
What is both tasks use the visuospatial sketchpad?
This is where visual information goes when participants give shapes verbal names.
What is the phonological loop?
Three academic majors that use visuospatial sketchpad more than psychology students.
What are engineering, art, and architecture? (examples)
The Chapter 3 topic that activates the same brain regions as visuospatial working memory.
What is attention?
What gets overloaded when a geometry student tries to solve problems on a tiny scrap of paper.
What is the visuospatial sketchpad?
By occupying the phonological loop with repetition accomplishes in visuospatial experiments.
What is forces participants to use visuospatial coding instead?
The cognitive process you shift between locations during mental rehearsal in the visuospatial sketchpad.
What is selective attention?
What Baddeley and Hitch's 1974 study proved about working memory structure by having people do digit rehearsal plus spatial judgments.
What is working memory has separate components for different types of information?
