Question 34 Not yet saved Marked out of 10.00 Flag question Elis & Henneley (1980) interpreted their results in terms of Baddeley & Hitch's (1974) working memory model, as below. Fill each blank with a single word or a phrase (each answer is worth 1 mark) The cross-language difference in digit span observed here may be explained in the same way as a well-established short-term memory phenomenon known as the(a) effect observed within a language. Baddeley et al. (1975) have shown that immediate memory span for words like "wicket, bishop" is (b) than for words like "coerce, zygote", indicating that immediate memory span is greater for _(c) words. Within the (d) component of Baddeley's working memory model, this effect is accounted for in terms of a rehearsal mechanism that serves to refresh decaying representations held in the (e) It is suggested that the effect arises because(f)____ words permit faster subvocal rehearsal, resulting in better immediate recall performance. Cross- language differences in digit span are thought to arise in a similar way; languages such as Welsh, in which digit names are are thought to be rehearsed (9). (h) resulting in an increased chance of loss through trace decay. Concurrent articulation is thought to the effect, as it prevents the subvocal rehearsal of the to-be- remembered item by the process.
