4 mark for review
which of the following concepts was at work?
a divergent thinking
b iconic memory
c phonological loop
d visuospatial sketchpad

Explanation:

The problem is about memory and cognitive processes. The phonological loop is part of working memory that deals with verbal information (like repeating a password). Divergent thinking is about generating ideas, iconic memory is visual sensory memory, and visuospatial sketchpad deals with visual - spatial info. Since the student repeated the password (verbal info), the phonological loop is the relevant concept.

Answer:

C. Phonological loop
