Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Alphabetizing five names while holding them in memory requires the individual to actively manipulate and update information in their working memory, which is a key aspect of working memory function. Efficiently using a pair of scissors, confusing two people's names, and unconsciously adjusting grip are not necessarily related to working memory function.
