The portion of working memory that is in charge of verbal and auditory information. Made up of:
- the phonological store
- articulatory rehearsal process

Responsible for effects such as:
- the phonological similarity effect
- the word length effect
- articulatory suppression 

Phonological loop

Holds visual and spatial information (representations). When imagining a scene, solving a puzzle or navigating through familiar territory, the sketch pad is being used.
It controls processes such as:
- visual imagery
- mental rotation

Visuospatial sketch pad

The central executive is the control center of working memory that supervises or controls the flow of information to and from the three short-term systems (the visuospatial sketchpad, the episodic buffer, and the phonological loop). It coordinates activities, decides where to direct attention, and is responsible for moving information into long-term memory.

Central executive

Provides extra storage and can send things to long term memory. It helps explain how people can combine their long term memory with recently processed stimuli to remember more complex things (often associated with chunking).
