What is the main function of the visuo-spatial sketchpad?
Stores & processes information in a visual or spatial form
11 of 23
What is the main function of the phonological loop?
Deals with spoken & written material
12 of 23
What is the main function of the episodic buffer?
Acts as a backup store which communicates with both LTM & components of WM
13 of 23
How do spoken & written words enter the phonological store?
Spoken words enter directly, written words are converted into code first then enter
