Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The central executive is responsible for managing and coordinating information stored in working memory, including organizing and planning for future events such as keeping track of dates with multiple partners. The phonological loop is responsible for processing and storing auditory information, the visuo-spatial sketchpad is responsible for processing and storing visual and spatial information, and the iconic memory is a type of visual sensory memory that only lasts for a fraction of a second. None of these are directly related to keeping track of multiple dates.
