    • the central executive..

      monitors incoming data, and coordinates the activities of the three subsystems into memory
    • the phonological loop.. 

      deals with auditory information
    • what sections is the phonological loop divided into?
      phonological store, and the articulatory process
    • what is the phonological store which is a subsection of the phonological loop?
      it stores the words you hear
    • what is the articulatory process which is a subsection of the phonological loop?
      allows maintenance rehearsal, which repeats sounds or words in a loop to keep them in the working memory while they are needed
