b. the visuospatial sketchpad
c. the episodic buffer
d. the central executive

Question 2

Suppose that you are trying to improve your pronunciation of French by listening to French popular songs. You try to imitate the French pronunciation at the same time that you translate the words into English. According to Baddeley's model,

a. you can manage both tasks simultaneously without a decrease in accuracy.
b. you'll probably have a difficult time on these tasks, because both tasks involve the phonological loop.
c. you'll probably have a difficult time, because the pronunciation involves the visuospatial sketchpad, and the translation involves the phonological loop.
d. you will have an easy time if you ignore the central executive, but a difficult time if you use the central executive.
