| Question | Answer |
| Visual spatial sketchpad | Part of STM which processes visual stimuli and tasks requiring spatial awareness |
| Central executive | Key component in STM which operates decision making, reasoning, logic and allocates stimuli to particular slave systems |
| Episodic buffer | This component is part of the WMM and acts as extra storage for the central executive |
| Phonological loop | Short term store which processes heard and spoken material |
| KF | A case study on this individual shows how STM is made up of several stores e.g. one for visual information and another for verbal, and therefore supports the WMM |
| Logie | This psychologist subdivided the visual spatial sketchpad further arguing there is in fact a visuo cache and inner scribe. |
| Dual task tests | Baddeley conducted a series of experiments to provide evidence for separate components. He showed we can perform two tasks simultaneously if they use separate stores. |
| PET scans | Have shown that visual and spatial ability may function from separate components as they are found in different hemispheres in the brain |
