Baddeley And Hitch's Memory Model

Question 1

15 marks ( passing a ball in basketball)

Answer 1

• Central executive- selects which info needs to go to which system eg. may ignore the sound of the crowd and send sound of coach giving instructions to phonological loop
• Phonological loop- deals with the sound eg. Call from a team member
• Visuospatial sketchpad- stores visual and spatial info eg the position of the team player on court
• Episodic buffer- sends sequences of info from phonological loop and visuospatial sketchpad to long term memory eg. Gathers all the info and perform the pass

AO3:

• only relevant info will be distributed to central executive and this prevents information overload
• phonological loop, visuospatial sketchpad and episodic buffer work togh to help performer make the most appropriate movement eg who to pass or what type of pass to use
• The more experienced the performer is the more effective movement and decision
• Episodic buffer sends info to long term memory to help performer create the pass they desire to make
• Performer needs to have well learned motor program for the pass to be continuously done well
