    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 Hitch
    Explanation
    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.

    What is the name of the component recently added to this model?

    • Episodic Buffer

    • Episodic Solution

    • Buffer

    • Phonological Loop

    Correct Answer
    A. Episodic Buffer
    Explanation
    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.

    Fill in the blank: __________ sketchpad

    • Spatial

    • Kinesthetic

    • Visual

    • Visuospatial

    Correct Answer
    A. Visuospatial
    Explanation
    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.

    What was the year that research for the Working Memory Model was conducted in?

    • 1972

    • 1959

    • 1974

    • 1968

    Correct Answer
    A. 1974
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 1974. This is the year when research for the Working Memory Model was conducted.
