Use the working memory model to explain why performing two or more tasks at the same time can be so difficult

What will be an ideal response?


Working memory posits limited-capacity, limited duration components including the visuospatial sketchpad, which briefly stores visual information and the phonological loop which briefly stores verbal information. The central executive allocates attention within working memory. It decides how to divide attention between two or more tasks that need to be done at the same time, or how to switch attention back and forth between multiple tasks. Because attention is a limited resource, trying to perform two tasks at the same time limits the amount of attention that can be paid to each activity.
