APFIVE Phonological Loop in a Dual-Task Study
A study investigates the role of the phonological loop in working memory by having participants perform a dual-task experiment: memorizing a list of numbers while simultaneously articulating irrelevant syllables. The researcher concludes that the phonological loop is unnecessary for numerical memory because performance does not significantly decline. What is the conceptual mistake in this experiment?
A
Ignoring the potential for parallel processing of different types of information
B
Misinterpreting the function of the central executive in working memory
C
Overlooking the role of the visuospatial sketchpad in supporting memory
D
Underestimating the capacity of short-term memory
