2.3.2 Phonological Loop

• Why is the Phonological Loop important in working memory?

  It helps manage spoken and written information
• How does the Phonological Loop help you remember a phone number?

  You repeat it in your head
• How does the Phonological Loop assist during a lecture?

  By allowing note-taking while following along
• What is the function of the Phonological Store?

  It holds spoken and written information temporarily
• What is the significance of the Phonological Loop in verbal tasks?

  • Essential for handling spoken information
  • Aids in remembering phone numbers
  • Facilitates understanding of verbal instructions
• What are the two main components of the Phonological Loop?

  Phonological Store and Articulatory Process
• Why is the Phonological Loop important during a conversation?

  It helps recall instructions heard
• What does Hulme et al.'s research support about the Articulatory Process?

  It supports its role in rehearsal
• How do the Phonological Store and Articulatory Process work together?

  The Store holds information while the Process repeats
• How can the Phonological Store be described metaphorically?

  As a mental notepad for sounds
• What does the research by Gathercole and Baddeley highlight about the Phonological Loop?

  Its role in language acquisition
• What analogy is used to describe the Phonological Loop?

  Brain's temporary notepad for verbal tasks
• How does the Phonological Store function in memory?

  Acts as short-term memory for sounds and words
• What are the main functions of the Phonological Loop?

  • Stores sound-based information temporarily
  • Rehearses information to keep it in memory longer
  • Processes spoken words and numbers
• How does the Phonological Loop function in relation to working memory?

  It temporarily stores and processes sound information
• How do the Phonological Store and Articulatory Process work together when remembering an email address?

  • Phonological Store holds the email address briefly
  • Articulatory Process helps repeat it silently
  • Together, they enhance memory retention
• What is the Phonological Loop used for in daily life?

  To manage verbal information
• What are the two components of the Phonological Loop?

  • Phonological Store: Holds verbal information briefly
  • Articulatory Process: Mentally repeats information
• How does the Articulatory Process function in memory retention?

  It keeps information fresh by mental repetition
• What is the Phonological Loop?

  A part of working memory for sound
• What did Baddeley (1966) demonstrate about phonetically similar words?

  They are harder to remember than different sounds
• How does the Phonological Loop help you remember a shopping list?

  It holds verbal information for a short time
• What did Gathercole and Baddeley (1990) find about children with lower phonological loop capacity?

  They struggle with language learning
• What does the Phonological Loop help you remember?

  Spoken and written information
• What does the Articulatory Process allow you to do?

  Repeat information in your head
• What does Baddeley's research support regarding the Phonological Loop?

  It supports phonological coding in the Phonological Store
• What type of information does the Phonological Loop process?

  Spoken words and numbers
• What did Hulme et al. (1991) demonstrate regarding word length and recall?

  Shorter words are easier to remember
• What are the roles of the Phonological Store and Articulatory Process in the Phonological Loop?

  • Phonological Store: Holds spoken and written information temporarily
  • Articulatory Process: Repeats information mentally to aid memory
• What is a common use of the Phonological Loop when dialing a phone number?

  Holding onto a friend's phone number
• How do you use the Phonological Loop when remembering a shopping list?

  By repeating the items in your head
• What are the key findings from Baddeley (1966)?

  • Phonetically similar words are harder to remember
  • Supports phonological coding in the Phonological Store
• What is the role of the Articulatory Process?

  Repeats information in your head through mental rehearsal
• What happens when a friend tells you to buy apples, oranges, and bananas?

  The Phonological Store holds this information
• How does repeating information affect memory retention in the Phonological Loop?

  It helps keep the information in memory longer
• What role does the Articulatory Process play in remembering a shopping list?

  It lets you mentally repeat the items
• What are the key findings from Gathercole and Baddeley (1990)?

  • Lower phonological loop capacity hinders language learning
  • Highlights the Phonological Loop's role in language acquisition
• How does the Articulatory Process help with memory retention?

  Allows you to keep information fresh in memory
• What are the key findings from Hulme et al. (1991)?

  • Shorter words are easier to remember
  • Supports the Articulatory Process's role in rehearsal
