Narrative review statement citing Miyake and Shah (1999) and Baddeley (2003a). The article reports that the phonological loop handles phonological information, rehearses verbal input, and facilitates language acquisition; no effect size is printed.

"Today, it is well established that much more than a slave system, the PL may have a significant role in vocabulary acquisition. Also, it is vital for learning a second language"
