The process described involves not only storing and manipulating an image in working memory, but also allocating attention and retrieving a related image from long-term memory. This suggests the involvement of central executive control, which is responsible for managing attention, coordinating cognitive processes, and integrating information from different sources. The other options, auditory working memory, phonological loop, and long-term memory, are not directly related to the described process.
