Which statement about the phonological store is true?

Explanation:
The phonological store is a part of the phonological loop that holds auditory-verbal information for a short time. Items in this store decay quickly unless you refresh them with subvocal rehearsal in the articulatory loop. That’s why the statement that it temporarily stores auditory information is true. It does not handle visual input (that’s the visuospatial sketchpad), it doesn’t coordinate the central executive (that role belongs to the central executive), and it doesn’t transfer information directly to long-term memory (encoding to LTM involves rehearsal and broader Executive processes).
