Question

question 7 2 pts which of the following is true of working memory?
∘ working memorys storage capacity is virtually unlimited.
∘ working memory capacity is strongly related to cognitive aptitudes, such as intelligence.
∘ working memory functions as a passive storehouse with shelves to store information until it moves to long - term memory.
∘ working memory allows individuals to hold information permanently as they perform cognitive tasks.

Explanation:

1. Analyze Option 1: Working memory has a limited capacity (typically around 7 ± 2 chunks), so "virtually unlimited" is false.
2. Analyze Option 2: Research shows a strong correlation between working memory capacity and cognitive aptitudes like intelligence, as working memory supports complex cognitive tasks.
3. Analyze Option 3: Working memory is active, not passive; it manipulates information, unlike a passive storehouse.
4. Analyze Option 4: Working memory holds information temporarily (for cognitive tasks), not permanently (long - term memory is for permanent storage).

Answer:

B. Working memory capacity is strongly related to cognitive aptitudes, such as intelligence.
