Exam 4: Immediate Memory

Based on the notion of executive control as inhibition,you would expect _____ Stroop interference in participants with a high operation span.This assumption ____ supported by the empirical evidence.

The most conservative estimate of the limits on immediate memory is

Baddeley proposed that the functions of the central executive might be better specified through what he termed _____ of the central executive.

Decay theories of forgetting have been criticized on the grounds that they are merely descriptive.In the same way that time doesn't cause metal to rust (oxidation does),time doesn't cause forgetting.What is one proposal for the "oxidation" equivalent in decay (i.e. ,the actual mechanism that leads to forgetting)?

The operation span task

All of these are different types of memory storage in the modal model conceptualized by Atkinson and Shiffrin (1968)except

Amnesic H.M.demonstrated ______,while amnesic K.F.demonstrated ______.These patterns,in combination,provide strong evidence _____ a distinction between STM and LTM.

Which area of the brain is involved in encoding novel relations among objects and events,and may,thus,explain amnesic patterns of memory deficit and preservation?

What happens to the phonological similarity effect and the word length effect if you do an articulatory suppression task while encoding an STM load?

The longest string of information (e.g. ,numbers,letters)that a person can immediately recall is called the person's

If I have a list of three weapons and try to recall them,and then get another list of three weapons and try to recall them,and then get yet another list of three items and try to recall them,what is likely to happen?

The well-known limit on immediate memory-the "magic number 7 + 2"-was proposed by

Which component of working memory serves as the "gatekeeper" or "capacity allocator" for the attentional system?

Baddeley added a fourth component to his original model that attempts to account for the influence of relevant information from long-term memory within working memory.This component is called the

Wegner (1994)has a term for a situation in which we are concentrating so hard to avoid making an action that we actually encourage that action! For example,we are concentrating so hard to NOT miss catching a ground ball hit toward us that when the ball gets to our position,we miss it entirely.What does he call this?

Diamond,Barnett,Thomas,and Munro (2007)designed the Tools of Mind curriculum to train three key features of executive function,including three of the following.Which of these was not included?

According to Berman,Jonides,and Kaplan (2008),exposure to nature captures ______ attention,allowing ______ attention to refresh.

The classic measure used to assess immediate memory capacity limits is termed

Dissociations within the components of working memory proposed by Baddeley _____,which tends to _____ the theory.

Several researchers have examined how well deaf participants remember signs,just as listeners remember words they hear.In listening,words that sound alike are less likely to be remembered.What happens with American Sign Language?
