Amnesia - Correct Answers-inability to form/recall memories, general deficits on explicit
knowledge, skill learning may still be intact, implicit memory is preserved
anterograde amnesia - Correct Answers-not being able to form new memories
Articulatory subvocal rehearsal - Correct Answers-maintains phonological memory traces,
translates visual information by subvocal naming
articulatory suppression predictions - Correct Answers-word length effect should occur in
conditions where rehearsal is allowed, performances in auditory control should be superior to
auditory suppression, in visual suppression, word length effect will be lost because articulatory
sub-vocal rehearsal cannot translate
Attention - Correct Answers-Process of focusing on specific features of the environment or
on certain thoughts or activities
Attention processing distributed across the cortex - Correct Answers-using fMRI to detect
cortical activity during a search task, attention to an expected direction of motion caused brain
activity to increase in a number of brain areas
auditory control vs auditory suppression results - Correct Answers-suppression caused a
decrement in performance, word length effect was preserved, points to rehearsal as a plausible
process for maintenance and superior performance
auditory control vs visual control results - Correct Answers-word length effect obtained in
both presentation modes, support for translation from visual to phonological
Automatic processing - Correct Answers-occurs without intention and only uses some of a
person's cognitive resources
Baddeley, Thomson, & Buchanan - Exp 1: Word length - Correct Answers-goal to show that
immediate memory span for verbal information is not a constant, but varies with the length of
the words to be recalled, task: serial recall - 4 to 8 words, must recall entire sequence to be
correct
Baddeley, Thomson, & Buchanan - Exp 1: Word length Hypothesis - Correct Answers-if
immediate memory span is limited in terms of number of chunks, then word length has no
, effect on memory span, if immediate memory span is limited in terms of time, then word length
has an effect
Baddeley, Thomson, & Buchanan - Exp 1: Word length results - Correct Answers-effect of list
length on recall rate, effect of word length for all list lengths - clear advantage for short words
over long words, conclusion: words appear to be coded by temporal duration and not in
meaningful units
Baddeley, Thomson, & Buchanan - Experiment 8 - articulatory suppression - Correct
Answers-shows that the articulatory sub-vocal rehearsal component maintains phonological
memory traces and translates some visual information in phonological mode by sub-vocal
naming
Baddeley's working memory model - Correct Answers-phonological loop, central executive,
visuospatial sketch pad
Broadbent's Filter Model - Correct Answers-Early-selection model, filters message before
incoming information is analyzed for meaning
Broadbent's Filter Model: detector - Correct Answers-processes the information received to
determine the meaning of the message
Broadbent's Filter Model: filter - Correct Answers-identifies attended message based on
physical characteristics, only attended message is passed on to the next stage
Broadbent's Filter Model: sensory memory - Correct Answers-holds all incoming information
for a fraction of a second, transfers all information to the next stage
Broadbent's Filter Model: short-term memory - Correct Answers-receives output of detector,
holds information for 10-15 seconds and may transfer it to long-term memory
Brooks and the visuospatial sketchpad - Correct Answers-memorize sentence and then
consider each word, response is either phonological or visuospatial (saying vs pointing)
Cellphones and attention - Correct Answers-owned by 97% of US population, of all collisions
24% of drivers were on the phone 10 minutes before the accident
Chase and Simon - Correct Answers-memory for chess pieces on a board, chess masters and
beginners, pieces positioned for a real chess game or randomly positioned, chess master is
better at reproducing actual game positions, master's performance drops to level of beginner
when pieces are arranged randomly
