Fits within modal model: fits in stm, the manipulation of info from stm ltm. Phonological loop: recycles verbal material, two subcomponents, the phonological store, the articulatory loop. Articulatory suppression: difficult to retain words while simultaneous articulating something (the, the, the, articulatory suppression task aims to prevent the individual from rehearsing items sub vocally.
