Suppose that a study examines whether people have trouble creating a mental image of a famous painting while they are watching a cartoon on television. You would expect to find that
a. contrary to Baddeley's theory, the phonological loop and the visuospatial sketchpad clearly work together on most tasks.
b. people have trouble on a task that employs the visuospatial sketchpad, if they are simultaneously performing another visual task.
c. watching the cartoon actually enhances your accuracy when you use your visuospatial sketchpad to create a mental image of a painting.
d. people have trouble on this task unless they transfer all information to the episodic buffer.
Question 2
According to Baddeley's approach to working memory, the visuospatial sketchpad
a. is similar to the phonological loop because each has a limited capacity.
b. is similar to the phonological loop because each is primarily handled by the left hemisphere of the brain.
c. is different from the phonological loop, because the visuospatial sketchpad does not have a limited capacity.
d. is different from the phonological loop, because the phonological loop does not have a limited capacity.
