Alan Baddeley chose the metaphor of a workbench to represent his model of working memory because

  c. rehearsal is important in memory, and rehearsal is also important when you think about projects that would require a workbench.
  d. working memory focuses on a wide variety of projects, and a workbench can also handle a wide variety of projects.

Question 2

  b. working memory is much more rigid and inflexible than previous theorists had suggested.
  c. the purpose of working memory is to hold information briefly, and then process and use this information.
  d. working memory is the verbal, activated component of long-term memory.
