A)The phonological loop stores visual and spatial information.
B)The phonological loop and the visuo-spatial sketchpad function independently.

According to Alan Baddeley's model, the phonological loop stores auditory information and the visuo-spatial sketchpad stores visual and spatial information. The central executive integrates information from these two components and long-term memory. All three components have a limited capacity. Therefore, option A is incorrect. Option C is incorrect as the central executive does integrate information from long-term memory. Option D is incorrect as the central executive also has a limited capacity. Hence, only option B is true, which states that the phonological loop and the visuo-spatial sketchpad function independently.
