    • Who conducted the case study of patient KF?
      Tim Shallice and Elizabeth Warrington
    • What type of memory ability was impaired in patient KF?
      Short-term memory for auditory information
    • How did KF's immediate recall of letters and digits differ based on presentation method?
      Better when read visually than acoustically
    • What was damaged in KF's memory system?
      His phonological loop
    • What was intact in KF's memory system?
      His visuo-spatial sketchpad
    • What does KF's case study support regarding memory stores?
      The existence of separate visual and acoustic stores
    • What is a counterpoint to the evidence from KF's case study?
      Unclear if KF had other cognitive impairments
    • How did KF's motorcycle accident potentially affect his memory performance?
      It may have caused additional cognitive impairments
    • What do studies of dual-task performance support?
      The separate existence of the visuo-spatial sketchpad
    • What was the outcome when participants performed visual and verbal tasks simultaneously?
      Performance was similar to separate tasks
    • What happens to performance when both tasks are visual or verbal?
      Performance declines substantially
    • Why do visual tasks decline in performance when both are performed simultaneously?
      They compete for the same subsystem
    • What does the dual-task performance study suggest about the visuo-spatial sketchpad?
      It processes visual input separately
    • What is a limitation regarding the central executive in working memory?
      Lack of clarity over its nature
    • What did Baddeley (2003) say about the central executive?
      It is the most important but least understood
    • What do some psychologists believe about the central executive?
      It may consist of separate subcomponents
    • Why is the central executive considered an unsatisfactory component?
      It lacks a clear specification
    • How does the lack of clarity about the central executive challenge the WMM?
      It questions the integrity of the model
