Practise Edexcel Psychology questions on the working memory model, applying the central executive, phonological loop and visuospatial sketchpad to scenarios.
Philippa carried out an investigation into memory. She used a random sample of 16 participants from her local college of 208 students.
- In Condition A participants learned and recalled a list of words in a quiet classroom.
- In Condition B the same participants learned and recalled a second list of words in a noisy coffee shop.
Justify, using working memory model, the conclusion that Philippa made. (1)

AO3 (1 mark)
Credit one mark for an accurate justification.
For example:
- The phonological loop would have been overloaded from
the noise and auditory processing of words both
competing for capacity (1).
Look for other reasonable marking points.
