Central Executive- 'manages' the system. Decides what needs to be done and when. Intergrates activites of other stores.
Phonological Loop- is an auditory store, rehearsing information to prevent loss and decay. It has 2 parts:
- the phonological store which is the 'inner ear'. this deals with the perception of all sounds and in particular, speech.
- the articulatory loop which is the 'inner voice'. The voice inside us- Baddeley (1986) says it rehearses sounds for up to 2 seconds. We can hold as much info here as we can rehearse in 2 seconds.
Visuo- Spatial Sketchpad- the 'inner eye'. This organises info visually, as you if you would by sketching them out on paper. The mental 'rough paper' that you might use when doing mental arithmetic.
