Suppose that your elderly uncle is coming to visit. You are concerned, because you will be discussing some important issues and do not want to overload his working memory. Based on the information in Chapter 13, you would suspect that

  b. you probably do not need to worry, as long as you aren't talking to him while he is doing another complex task at the same time.
  c. you probably need to worry, because elderly people show deficits in the functioning of the phonological loop.
  d. you probably need to worry, because young adults and older adults have similar working memory only when speech rate is significantly slower than normal.
