Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The default network is a network of brain regions that are more active during resting state or passive tasks, and less active during tasks that require external attention. This network is involved in processing internal stimuli such as memories, emotions, and self-referential thoughts. Therefore, the default network is the best choice that explains the brain's activity at rest, processing information that is generated internally. The phonological loop and the visuospatial sketch pad are components of the working memory system, and the central executive is in charge of coordinating and manipulating information in working memory, but they are not specifically related to the brain's activity at rest.
