Working Model of Memory
Central Executive
The central executive is responsible for controlled processing and allocation of data to subsystems in working memory. Such subsystems include the visuospatial sketchpad and phonological loop, where the phonological loop can further be subdivided into the phonological store and the articulatory process.
The primary functions of the central executive is dealing with cognitive tasks such as mental arithmetic and problem-solving.
Phonological Loop
The phonological loop is part of the working memory and consists of two main functions: dealing with spoken material and written material. To handle these two functions, the phonological loops consists of two parts which we will look at in the following sections.
Phonological Store
The first component we will talk about is the phonological store, which is linked to speech perception. Its function is to store both spoken and written words as speech-based encoded information for 1-2 seconds. Meaning, that while spoken words enter the store directly, written words are first encoded as articuarticulatory or spoken code, then the data can enter the phonological store.
