Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The phonological loop is responsible for the storage and manipulation of verbal information, including language, speech, and sounds. It has a limited capacity, and information tends to decay rapidly unless it is rehearsed or encoded into long-term memory. Sensory experiences (A) are stored briefly in sensory memory, whereas visual images (B) are handled by the visuospatial sketchpad. Numerical information (D) is processed by the central executive and the working memory buffer, but it does not belong to the phonological loop.
