The phonological loop is one of the central concepts of the working memory model. It represents a brief store of mainly verbal information together with a rehearsal mechanism. In many experiments Baddeley and colleagues have investigated the characteristics of this postulated structure.
] describes the phonological loop as part of working memory; together with the visuospatial sketchpad, episodic buffer, and central executive.
