Phonological loop in the context of Subvocalization

Musical memory is the ability to recall music-related information, such as melodies and progressions of tones or pitches. Researchers have noted differences between linguistic and musical memory, leading to the theory that musical memory may be encoded differently from language and could represent an independent component of the phonological loop. However, this term's usage is problematic because it implies verbal input, whereas music is essentially nonverbal.

Mental calculation (also known as mental computation) consists of arithmetical calculations made by the mind, within the brain, with no help from any supplies (such as pencil and paper) or devices such as a calculator. People may use mental calculation when computing tools are not available, when it is faster than other means of calculation (such as conventional educational institution methods), or even in a competitive context. Mental calculation often involves the use of specific techniques devised for specific types of problems. Many of these techniques take advantage of or rely on the decimal numeral system.

Capacity of short-term memory is a necessary factor for the successful acquisition of a calculation, specifically perhaps, the phonological loop, in the context of addition calculations (only). Mental flexibleness contributes to the probability of successful completion of mental effort - which is a concept representing adaptive use of knowledge of rules or ways any number associates with any other and how multitudes of numbers are meaningfully associative, and certain (any) number patterns, combined with algorithms process.
