PSYC 333 Midterm 3 Study Guide: Abnormal Psychology Disorders and
Treatment Review
Chunking - correct answer ✔✔Combining small pieces of information into larger clusters or
chunks that are more easily held in short-term memory.
Difference between STM and Working memory - correct answer ✔✔Short-term Memory: A
temporary storage system
Working Memory: we are not only hooding information in our mind but also manipulating it.
It's a bit different but researchers use both.
Working Memory - correct answer ✔✔The active and temporary representation of information
that is maintained for the short-term, available for manipulation
two general processes of working memory - correct answer ✔✔Maintenance and manipulation
Cognitive Control - correct answer ✔✔the manipulation and application of working memory for
planning, task switching, attention, stimulus selection, and the inhibition of inappropriate
reflexive behaviors
Also known as Executive control or executive function
Place-based model - correct answer ✔✔The view where the term short-term memory was used
to refer to a temporary storage place- a temporary "loading dock" before information made its
way into another place aqay in image
Stated-based Model - correct answer ✔✔there is only one place for memory, although the
memories can be in various states we active
, Emphasis on Rehearsal - correct answer ✔✔The way in which you encode information is
important for predicting what survives in long-term memory
Emphasis on interdependence - correct answer ✔✔- Neuropsychological data challenges this
idea
- Patient K.F.
- Very poor digit span but normal delayed free recall
Patient K.F. - correct answer ✔✔-normal long term memory
-impaired working memory
Baddeley's model of working memory - correct answer ✔✔Working memory that includes two
independent STM buffers:
- the visuaospatial sketchpad
- phonological loop
visuospatial sketchpad - correct answer ✔✔- it's the component of Hadley's model of working
memory that maintains visual and spatial images.
- mental workspace for visual and spatial information
- limited capacity just like phonological loop (but independent of one another)
- Delayed nonmatch to sample task
phonological loop - correct answer ✔✔- component of Bradley's model of working memory that
maintains auditory memories through subvocal speech rehearsal.
- verbal working memory
- ex) holding a phone number in mind
