Instructions: use your class notes and the textbook to answer the questions below. Your goal is to craft detailed, complete, coherent, disciplined answers for each and to provide examples to illustrate your ideas whenever possible. Answers should be approximately half a page to three quarters a page in length. Trade and discuss your answers with classmates to evaluate the quality, accuracy, and completeness of your work. Two of these questions (or a shorter version of them) will appear on the midterm exam as long-answer questions: explain baddeley"s model of working memory. How is this model different from the three- box model"s original conceptualization of short-term memory: describe how classical conditioning works.
