Q

What is semantic LTM?

A

LTM store of facts and knowledge and has to be recalled consciously

17
Q

What is procedural LTM?

A

Ltm store of skills such as how to ride a bike, can be recalled unconsciously

18
Q

State all 4 components of the working memory model

A

Central executive
Phonological loop
Visuo-spatial sketchpad
Episodic buffer

19
Q

What is the job of the central executive ?

A

Head of the model, receives all sense information then decides which ‘slavesystem’ should carry out he task

20
Q

What is the job of the phonological loop ?

A

Processes auditory information

21
Q

What is the job of the visa spatial sketchpad ?

A

Processes visual and spatial information

22
Q

What is the job of the episodic buffer ?

A

Intergrates all types of data processed by the other stores

23
Q

Why is KF a supporting evidence for the WMM?

A

As after a motorbike accident he had damage to his verbal processes but visual functioning was not affected
