Which memory system can be divided into four interrelated systems: central executive, visual sketchpad, episodic buffer, and the phonological loop?
A) sensory memory
B) working memory
C) long-term memory
D) procedural memory
Answer: B
Rationale: The working memory model for short-term remembering can be subdivided into three storage components—the phonological loop, visuospatial sketchpad, and an episodic buffer. In addition, working memory includes one component that is not primarily used for storing information. Instead, the central executive is the control center of working memory; it coordinates attention and the exchange of information among the three storage components.
