The discussion of working memory examines research on acoustic confusions. How are acoustic confusions relevant to working memory?
a. When material is processed in the phonological loop, similar-sounding items can be confused with one another.
b. When material is processed in the visuospatial sketchpad, similar-sounding items can be confused with one another.
c. The central executive has several component processes, including the task of resolving acoustic confusions.
d. This research suggests that the phonological loop plays a relatively minor role in working memory.
Question 2
Suppose that you have been watching a figure skating competition. You close your eyes and you try to remember how the last skater performed her final jump, then glided to the center of the rink and finished with a spin.
The component of your working memory that is now most active is
a. the phonological loop.
b. the visuospatial sketchpad.
c. the episodic buffer.
d. the central executive
