When is the central executive used? 
When detailing with difficult mental tasks such as problem solving
These cognitively demanding tasks require lots of attention.
Like the (older) concept of STM...........?
the central executive is seen as having a limited capacity and potentially only being able to deal with one strand of information at a time
Therefore, it processes information in all sensory forms, directs it ot the slave systems and collects responses.
