Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The visuospatial sketchpad is responsible for processing visual and spatial information, including geometrical shapes. Damage to this component of working memory could result in difficulty in processing certain shapes. The memory icon does not exist in the working memory model. The phonological loop is responsible for processing auditory information and the central executive is responsible for integrating information from the phonological loop and visuospatial sketchpad.
