What metaphors could you use for an information processing model?
What are teaching implications in regards to the capacity of working memory?
My favorite metaphor for an information processing model, such as the brain, would be a network of highways. I think the kids can really visualize a network of speedways rather than neurons racing from one side of the brain to the other sending messages.
Some teaching implications in regards to the capacity of working memory should include some visual, lecture, and hands on activity that will engage the student. That student can then use that knowledge later and apply it to their everyday life. It's extremely difficult trying to find a way to engage such a large group of students and keep them involved and all have them understand. Students all learn different ways therefore you should always apply some techniques using visual, auditory and hands on.
