• What is a strength of the working memory model related to dual task performance?

  It shows tasks using different components perform well
• What did Baddeley and Hitch demonstrate about dual task performance?

  Performance suffers when tasks use the same component
• What were the two tasks used in Baddeley and Hitch's study?

  • Task 1: True/false statements (A and B)
  • Task 2: Repeating words or digits
• What happens to performance when Task 1 is combined with version 2 of Task 2?

  Speed drops significantly on Task 1
• What does the study by Baddeley and Hitch suggest about memory components?

  Each component has limited capacity for tasks
• Who conducted the case study of KF?

  Shallice and Warrington
• What was KF's ability regarding verbal and visual information?

  He had poor verbal memory but good visual memory
• What does KF's case study suggest about memory stores?

  It supports separate visual and acoustic memory stores
• What is a methodological limitation of the working memory model research?

  • Reliance on lab studies
  • Lack of mundane realism
  • Limited applicability to daily life
• Why are lab studies favored in memory research?

  They eliminate extraneous variables for accuracy
• What is the issue with the applicability of lab studies to real life?

  They may not represent daily life tasks
• What is unclear about the role of the central executive?

  Its specific functions beyond allocation are unknown
• What does the case study of EVR suggest about the central executive?

  It may consist of separate components
• What is a limitation of the working memory model regarding its explanation?

  It lacks depth and complexity in explanation
• What was impaired in patient KF after his accident?

  His short term memory
• What did the KF study reveal about the multi store model?

  It isn't supported by case study findings
• How does KF's case challenge the multi store model's predictions?

  Short term memory damage doesn't affect long term memory
• What is a second limitation of the multi store model regarding short term memory?

  It oversimplifies short term memory as one type
• What did researchers find about KF's short term memory impairment?

  It varied for different types of information
• What specific type of information could KF recall well?

  Visual information from photographs
• What does KF's ability to recall visual information suggest?

  Multiple short term memory stores exist
• What is another limitation of the multi store model regarding rehearsal?

  It emphasizes rehearsal too much
• What does the multi store model claim about transferring information to long term memory?

  It requires rehearsal of the information
• What is a flaw in the multi store model's view on memory transfer?

  Some memories are formed without rehearsal
• What type of memory did KF retain after his accident?

  Long term memory
• What do case studies like KF's indicate about the multi store model?

  They reveal limitations in its predictions
• What does KF's case imply about the nature of memory storage?

  Memory storage is more complex than suggested
• What is one strength of the working memory model?

  Supported by case studies like Patient KF
• How does Patient KF support the working memory model?

  He had impaired verbal but intact visual memory
• Why can't the multi-store model explain Patient KF's condition?

  It suggests only one short term memory store
• What does the working memory model suggest about short term memory stores?

  There is more than one short term memory store
• What damage did Patient KF have according to the working memory model?

  Damage to his phonological loop
• How could Patient KF transfer information to long term memory?

  Using the visuo-spatial sketchpad and episodic buffer
• What is a limitation of case studies mentioned in the material?

  Difficult to establish cause and effect
• Why might case studies not generalize to others?

  They look at a small number of cases
• What did researchers find in the dual task procedure study?

  Participants performed better with mixed tasks of visual and verbal
• How does the working memory model explain task performance in the dual task study?

  Different tasks use different memory stores
• What part of the brain is activated during visual working memory tasks?

  The occipital lobe
• What part of the brain is activated during verbal tasks?

  The temporal lobe
• What does neuroimaging support about the working memory model?

  Different brain areas store visual and verbal info
