Describe how Baddeley's working memory model functions when children are trying to remember a list of random words.

What will be an ideal response?


The ideal answer should include:
1. When children are trying to remember a list of random words, the first few items are stored in the phonological loop, which can hold and manipulate a limited number of articulated sounds. (Young children typically remember only three or four words at a time.)
2. The central executive has to recycle the items in the phonological loop by rehearsing them (repeating the words), or they will be forgotten in a few seconds.
3. After several rehearsals, items on the list may be more permanently stored in long-term memory.
