Apply the components of Baddeley's model of working memory to a child reading a book.
What will be an ideal response?
The ideal answer should include:
1. Baddeley's model of working memory consists of a central executive and three limited-capacity storage systems: a visuospatial sketchpad, a phonological loop, and an episodic buffer.
2. In reading a book, the child uses the visuospatial sketchpad to visualize the shapes of the letters, the phonological loop to hear what the letters and words sound like, and the episodic buffer to put the letters together into words, complete with sounds, to form sentences that make sense. The central executive directs attention to the processes involved in reading and regulates the flow of information through the three storage systems.
