• 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?

  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
