Which component of Baddeley's basic working memory model is involved in the task of rapid repetition of a word such as 'See-Saw'?
The phonological loop handles verbal and acoustic information, so rapid repetition of a word like See-Saw uses its articulatory rehearsal process.
The visuospatial sketchpad stores visual and spatial images, not the sound of spoken words, so it is not engaged.
Bounded intelligence is not a component of Baddeley's model; it is not a memory store at all.
Metacognition is awareness and control of one's own thinking, a higher monitoring function.
The phonological loop has a phonological store plus an articulatory rehearsal loop that refreshes decaying sounds.
Baddeley's model replaced the single short-term store of Atkinson and Shiffrin's multi-store model.
