A child is learning how to field a ground
ball in baseball. Being an avid
fan of Derek Jeter, he has watched him successfully field a ground ball from
shortstop multiple times. He studies every move Jeter makes from bending down
to field the ball, to throwing it to first base. This is an example of storing
information and using what he has learned in attempt to perfecting his baseball
skills. He practices these skills everyday, using repetition to be able to
field a ground ball the correct way like Derek Jeter. With continuous practice
of fielding a ground ball he will consistently perform this task with accuracy
for a long time.
You don't mention any part of the model here, so I'm not sure what you're attributing to each piece.... Sensory memory would include anything in the room around him in addition to the screen showing Jeter. Anything in conscious thought would be working memory. Repetition DOES NOT move things to long term memory according to this model!! <<This is important. It keeps it in conscious thought, but does not move it to long term memory, which might be considered 'learning' it. You should be able to explain why this is true.
