phonological loop

The phonological loop is a part of our working memory that helps us process and remember verbal information, like words and numbers. It has two main components: one stores sounds and the other helps us rehearse them mentally, like repeating a phone number in your head. This ability allows us to hold onto information long enough to use it, such as understanding a sentence or remembering instructions. It plays a crucial role in language comprehension and learning, facilitating tasks that involve spoken language.
