Answer to Question 1

Your visual-spatial sketchpad performs tasks such as the ability to retain a mental image of the human memory model in your working memory as you describe it to your friend. Your phonological loop retains the verbal information in working memory, and your central executive organizes and sequences the information so you can present it in an understandable way.

Answer to Question 2

Since working memory is limited in capacity, and activities, such as questioning, impose a heavy cognitive load on teachers' working memories, and problem solving imposes a heavy cognitive load on learners, developing the skills to automaticity reduces cognitive load and leaves working memory space for other cognitive tasks.
