What is the name of the component recently added to this model?
-
Episodic Buffer
-
Episodic Solution
-
Buffer
-
Phonological Loop
Correct Answer
A. Episodic BufferExplanation
The correct answer is "Episodic Buffer." The episodic buffer is a component that was recently added to this model. It is responsible for integrating information from different sources and maintaining a temporary storage of this integrated information. It acts as a bridge between working memory and long-term memory, allowing for the manipulation and organization of information.Rate this question:

What are the names of the researchers who theorized the Working Memory Model (WMM)?
-
Atkinson and Shiffrin
-
Baddeley and Hitch
-
Craik and Tulving
-
Craik and Lockhart
Correct Answer
A. Baddeley and HitchExplanation
Baddeley and Hitch are the researchers who theorized the Working Memory Model (WMM). The WMM is a cognitive model that explains how short-term memory works and how it is involved in complex cognitive tasks. Baddeley and Hitch proposed that working memory consists of multiple components, including a central executive, a phonological loop, a visuospatial sketchpad, and an episodic buffer. This model has been influential in understanding how information is temporarily stored and manipulated in the mind.Rate this question:

Fill in the blank: __________ sketchpad
-
Spatial
-
Kinesthetic
-
Visual
-
Visuospatial
Correct Answer
A. VisuospatialExplanation
The term "visuospatial" refers to the ability to perceive and understand visual information in relation to spatial relationships. A visuospatial sketchpad is a cognitive system that allows individuals to mentally manipulate and store visual and spatial information. This type of sketchpad is involved in tasks such as mental rotation, navigation, and object manipulation. It is used in various domains, including art, design, and problem-solving.Rate this question:
